Walk Report
12 hardy ramblers (or ramblers who had not thought this through!) turned up at Redmires to walk along Stanage Edge and onwards. The car park was slightly misty but we could still see one another. Up to Stanage Pole and onwards where the weather got wetter, mistier and colder. With nowhere to shelter for coffee we soldiered on for an early lunch break, where everyone was made to smile for the photo so that we looked as though we were enjoying the experience. After a quick lunch the decision was made to abandon ship and we headed back as quickly as we could so that leaky boots could be emptied and clothes could be stripped off. The walk, however, made the record books for the earliest finish at 2 o’clock clock. Well done to the heroic dozen for the 7 and a half miles covered.
A varied circular walk with a nice amount of climb with good views was enjoyed and appreciated by all the group.
Distance: 10.3 miles
Elevation: 1300 ft
