Full description:
A bank holiday walk to enjoy some of the last well dressings of the year. Starting in Eyam, we'll get the steepest ascent out of the way with a climb up to Sir William Hill (an Ethel), before descending down and through Bretton Clough. From Bretton, there will be a couple of km on country road towards Foolow, where there are a couple of well dressings. Lastly, back to Eyam where there are more well dressings, various cafes, a pub and lots of plague history should you want to explore.

Public transport or car sharing options:
The 65 bus leaves Sheffield interchange at 9:35 and arrives in Eyam at 10:21. Return buses are 2-hourly. I don't expect we'll be back for the 14:06, so it's likely to be 16:07 we'll be aiming for, which will give plenty of time for exploring/relaxing with a drink at the end.

There's a large free car park just behind the meeting point (Hawkhill Road car park), but be aware it might be very busy because of the bank holiday. It may be advisable to arrive earlier and explore the village first if driving. Please offer lifts and arrange car shares in the Meetup comments.

Be prepared:
Please remember to dress appropriately for the time of year. A waterproof is always advised, as well as plenty of food and water. Please bring sun protection if required (sun hat, sunglasses, sun cream, etc).
