18 of us on yesterday's walk. Many thanks to all of you for coming on the walk from Hathersage. The weather was superb and the views magnificent as ever. Welcome to Mal who joined us for the first time. The walk along the river was quite easy and then we tackled Padley Gorge stopping at the top of this for a welcome coffee break. We then made our way to Higger Tor passing Carl Wark on the way. Slightly boggy conditions on this part and I suppose I could have taken an easier path on the way but hopefully compensated for this by avoiding a direct climb up Higger Tor. From the top of this we had our lunch and enjoyed the panoramic views. Stanage was as busy as ever and we then made our way back down to Hathersage. We took our deserved refreshments at The "George and Dragon."
Again many thanks for coming on the walk and braving the difficulties of parking close to Hathersage Station. Yet again Phil did sterling duties as back marker and thanks for that as well.
