 Post walk pint
There were 13 people who were very glad of a drink and a sit down in the Cat & Fiddle afterwards. I suspect a few people have taken rather more pictures then me as I only took 51.
Thank you to Keith for the drink, I really enjoyed it and thank you everyone else for your company. I guess you all slept well after it!
I look forward to seeing everyone else's photos and if anyone found Les' double chin because I never saw one! Regards
Angela Thanks for a lovely day. It was just brilliant, with the added surprise of the public loos actually being open! It was sooo nice to meet old friends and see new faces. Thanks ever so much again Angela. Les and Kev
Thank you to Angela and everyone for a fabulous day.The weather held off (and actually got better as the day wore on,providing wonderful views into the far distance) and the company was terrific. Two hours drive from the Cat and Fiddle to my home...not bad! Ian Smith
It was good to meet everyone again (and for the first time for some). It certainly was an enjoyable day. Neil Haslewood
Thank you all for such a good day, Les, Neil for excellent photos. I hope to see you again on the next walk or should it be "waggle"? A big thank you to Angela for making it such a fun day. Keith
Thirteen walkers started from Derbyshire Bridge car park above the Goyt Valley and headed for Burbage Edge. Then it was a descent down Wildmoorstone to Errwood Reservoir and the Goyt Valley. Lunchtime refreshments were had at Errwood Hall before continuing to the Spanish Shrine. Then it was Pym Chair, Cats Tor and Shining Tor before descending down Stake Clough to Goyts Clough and the road back to the car park at Derbyshire Bridge. It was a great day full of laughter and enjoyment. The weather started with low cloud and mist but this soon cleared to give some great views. With only one shower of rain (waterproofs on for a very short time) and rest of the day was dry. We all had refreshments at the Cat and Fiddle Inn after the walk. The walk was 11.90 miles with 660 metres of ascent and took 6 hours 45 minutes. A great and fun day was had by all. by Neil Haslewood It was a fun day until I realised there were 13 of us! Les, Kev and myself all took unlucky tumbles but luckily no one got their camera out in time! I think my triple somersault was the winner!
We had a good wallk and Megan tried to increase our number by rounding up a group of Liverpudlians and 3 fell runners! Lin Charnley
Hi all, just a quicky to say cheers to Angela for arranging a fine walk and for managing to keep the weather good for us! Thanks also to all who came along, good to see you all again, good laugh all the
way round. Steven Procter

 During the recent flooding episode which hit Cumbria and some parts of south-west Scotland it seemed inappropriate to linger on the events and developing trauma to hit the area. Media hype has festered on the tragedy and many people watching on their TV or listening on the radio could do little but offer support directly to people they might know in the region either by e-mail or telephone. With the worst of the severe weather now over it seems appropriate to highlight the clean-up and aftermath as national media coverage begins to subside. Now that the clean-up has begun perhaps some of us may be able to offer support by way of financial contribution especially in the run-up to Christmas. If you'd like to donate - no matter how small a sum, please read on... |
