Full description:
The spring edition of the drawing walk! A walk with a difference, we’ll be stopping to appreciate the views by drawing them at a few different points around the walk.

This walk takes us through the Longshaw Estate, through Padley Gorge, along Millstone Edge and with a light scramble we’ll be up at Over Owler Tor. From there we’ll head up to Higger Tor, and come back down to Fox House on the top path on Burbage Edge. We’ll finish up in the pub where this time we really should remember to take a photo of all the drawings.

Bring a sketchbook and art materials, or scrap paper and a biro from the back of your sofa, or just come along for the views.

We will also be joined by an MA student who joined is for a walk back in February when she was quizzing us on all things back packs, and this time she has a protoype to show us!
