Join Fiona for a refreshing walk along Derwent Edge to feel less guilty about all the mine pies consumed (and make room for more)! From the Cutthroat bridge layby, we will hike up along Derwent Edge. If conditions are good, we will continue to Back Tor and Lost Lad then back along Ladybower. If it is cold and rainy, we will drop down off the edge early, heading to Ladybower reservoir and the warm dry pub.
Note this walk is NOT on New Year's Eve (it is on Tues 30th). Nor is it an evening walk (it is a daytime walk on the day before New Year's Eve). And Fiona will be the walk leader, not Eve!

Public transport or car sharing options:
The 257 usually operates along this route, but it looks like it is not running at reasonable times over the Christmas period - sorry. Cars only - drivers, please offer lifts in the comments of the Meetup comments. Thanks!

Be prepared:
Please remember to dress appropriately for the time of year, with plenty of warm clothes and waterproofs, as well as food and water. Further information on what to bring can be found on our website here: https://www.sheffieldwalkinggroup.org.uk/be-prepared

Sign-up for this walk opens 5 days before the event. If you sign up and can no longer make it, please be respectful of others and remove yourself from the event so that others can take your place. We request you do this ***NO LATER THAN 6pm*** the night before the walk.

A New Year’s Day walk to welcome in the year! This walk features Baslow Edge, Birchen Edge, Gardom’s Edge, various rocks in different formations (both manmade and natural) and probably a pub.

Bring lunch and we’ll find some appropriate rocks to sit on for a lunch break. Bonus points for anyone who brings any leftover Christmas chocolates!

Expect mud: ideally wear walking boots as some areas can be wet, and some will most certainly be muddy!

Public transport or car sharing options:
There are no buses on New Year’s Day! Please use the comments section on Meetup to arrange car sharing.

A walk from Youlgrave, taking in Bradford Dale, the lower end of Lathkill Dale and Robin Hood’s Stride. The route will be on minor roads, paths and tracks which will be rocky, and no doubt muddy, in places. As it is January, please bring plenty of layers for insulation, waterproofing and windproofing. The plan is to eat while we are out so please bring enough clothing to keep you warm when we are not moving.

Public transport or car sharing options:
The 8:40am 218 bus from Sheffield Interchange arrives in Bakewell at 9:40 and you must then catch the 10:00am bus from Bakewell to Youlgrave. As with all public transport options please double check the times and locations closer to the day before travelling. Car sharing should be arranged in the Meetup Comments. There is a small parking fee for parking on the sports field which helps the village maintain the field. There are both card and cash options to pay.
