Bakewell
- A walk to the village of Rowsley south east of Bakewell via
Calton Pastures, Calton Lees and the Derwent Valley Heritage
Way, returning via Bouns Corner and Bowling Green Farm, mainly
on field paths and tracks. Two uphill sections - a climb through
the woods out of Bakewell that is rather rough and stony, and a
gradual out of Rowsley, rewarded by far reaching views at the
top. We'll park at Bakewell Bridge Car Park, Coombs Road DE45
1AQ. All day parking is £5. I suggest we divide the cost equally
amongst us. |

Rudyard - A circuit of Rudyard Lake.
A fairly level walk with a couple of short inclines, one low
stile, and maybe a bit of mud after all the recent deluges. As
it's quite short (about 5 miles), we will finish by lunchtime,
and the Rudyard Hotel Carvery will meet the needs of anyone
wanting a Sunday lunch. There's also a small cafe at the
lakeside for snacks, and the usual facilities. |
