Todays walk in detail

15 members and a dog started and finished today's walk from Youlgreave. On what looked likely to be a damp start, it soon improved to being an amazing day for walking. Starting from Youlgreave, we soon headed north along the banks of the Bradford Dale before climbing out, the first uphill, to join the limestone way. We carried on, still slightly uphill, until we had elevenses prior to tackling the down and up of Cale Dale. After skirting Monyash, we started the return leg of the walk by entering the northern part of Lathkill Dale. We had our lunch before descending into the dale fully. The dramatic scenery was astounding and fully appreciated by all. We returned to Youlgreave via Alport and our final uphill path. Refreshments were taken at the Farmyard Inn. Thanks to the back marking trio of Andrew, Roy and Annie and not forgetting the dog, Oscar.
