Hope Pilgrimage Walking Weekend (Day Two)

This is our second day of Hope Pilgrimage weekend will be slightly longer but more scenic from the the previous day, lots of elevation. We will head out from Bamford, where we left off yesterday. Our walk takes us towards Stanage Pole, Higger Tor, Hathersage Stoke Ford, Sir William Hill and finishing at Eyam Church. As you can see we will be doing quite a bit of ascent on this day, but hoping the weather will be kind to us.

Please be prepared for all weathers and bring plenty of fluids and food. When we arrive in Eyam we can stop for refreshments before we head out for the local bus to take us to Grindlford Railway station where you will carry on with your journey home.

The Disclaimer!

We are a group of like-minded adults who share the same interest, the great outdoors.

This a a guide to what we do and what we expect from our members.

Our leaders/event hosts are volunteers, they're there to guide groups on walks in the countryside, they're not responsible for each and every participant other than themselves.

It is expected that all participants to be fully responsible for themselves and their own safety, we do not employ first aiders or qualified walk leaders. Participants are also expected to attend every walk with suitable clothing, footwear and any other equipment, that includes waterproofs for wet weather and walking poles if you need them regularly. Enough food and drink for the day is also required.

Some activities in more mountainous regions such as the Lake District, Wales and Scotland, can be more challenging, our walk leaders will use the principal of the groups safety at all times and if the conditions dramatically change for the worse, they will reserve the right to end the walk and turn back. A full and concise descriptions of the terrain will be published in the event write up stating what to expect on the walk, terrain using the best of our knowledge. Also to give our members an insight of what to bring such as walking poles, crampons and wet weather gear.
