By
popular demand Martin arranged to re-visit an area we walked in
a couple of years ago (see pics) but
we did a completely different walk this time.
Walk details:
START POINT:
Lathkill Hotel, Over Haddon, Nr. Bakewell, Derbyshire
Tel: 01629 812501
TIME: 10 00am assemble for tea/coffee at the Lathkill
Hotel with walk to start at 10.30am.
DIRECTIONS:
To Bakewell - if using the A619 from Chesterfield go to the roundabout
in the centre of Bakewell by the Rutland Hotel, take the left turn
and almost immediate right turn up the B5055 signed to Monyash.
If coming on the A6 from Matlock take the left turn just before
the roundabout. Continue uphill past the left turning for Lady Manners
School and take a left turn on a minor road signed to Over Haddon
(approx. 1 mile). There is limited parking behind the Lathkill Hotel
or alternative street parking nearby.
The Lathkill Hotel has a good reputation for serving an excellent
selection of bar meals and ales. We anticipate arriving back at
approximately 12.30pm for lunch at 1.00pm.
The
Walk: We have two alternatives dependent on the weather
and ground conditions!! Both are the usual 6 miles taking in Lathkill
Dale from Over Haddon to Monyash and back. There is a long steady
or a short sharp climb dependent on choice of walk so bottom gear
will be required.
