Full description:
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.

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
