On a beautiful sunny day 15 of the walking group set off on a journey from Chatsworth. We stopped briefly in Baslow, carefully negotiated the muddy terrain in Yeld Wood, took a coffee break and then after crossing the busy Sheffield road headed up Gardom's Edge before crossing the A 619. With slight trepidation we crossed the stream via stepping stones, the bridge now being out of commission. From Dobb Edge we had great views of Baslow and the valley that leads back to Chatsworth. After lunch we walked through the wood passing the Hunting Tower and the Cascade waterfalls before returning to the Calton Lees car park. Our efforts on a warm sunny day were rewarded by cool refreshments at the "George and Dragon."
Many thanks to all of you for taking part in what was a most enjoyable walk and thanks also to Peter for acting as backmarker.
