Todays walk in detail

Thank you to the 9 members who turned up at Monyash when the weather report was dubious. The weather was in fact good, with sunshine until 1pm but then the heavens opened and we got truly soaked. However it didn't daunt our good spirits. The route took us up through fields, over a couple of awkward styles to a track. We had a quick snack stop (we had had  an early breakfast after all) with good views, before continuing to Deepdale, a lovely valley that lives up to its name. Further sustenance here before climbing very steeply at first, up through the woodland until we reached the top overlooking Taddington village. Ever onward we eventually finished the last climb  of the day and began a gentle traverse through fields,  a farm track and lunch, just in time before the rain came in! From here on in all downhill through the tiny village of Flash, then picking up the Limestone Way back to Monyash. A big thank you to our gallant men who offered help and support as we teetered over potentially slippery styles of which there were approximately 10 during the course of the day. A very enjoyable hour in the pub in Monyash by a roaring fire was a great finish to a day in the White Peaks.
