Full description: Leaving Baslow, we walk along the river Derwent towards Grindleford. At Grindleford we climb up to the gritstone edge, pausing at either a scenic viewpoint or Grouse inn for lunch then returning along the Frogatt and Curbar Edges back to Baslow. Mixed terrain with a sharp ascent mid walk and sharp decent towards the end.
