High Peak walks for all

Wednesday, 2 October 2019 13:24

High Peak Walks For Health are back in Glossop on Thursday for the weekly 10am ‘progression’ walk from outside the Norfolk Street station.

There will also be a train station starting point for next Tuesday’s ‘easy’ walk.

It is at Whaley Bridge on Market Street (SKO11815) - meet on the car park ready to leave at 1.30pm.

For those who like walks longer and tougher, there’s one described as ‘strenuous’, from Miller’s Dale car park (SK013 8747).

Easy walks last up to 80 minutes and may include some stiles and hill walking.

Progression walks can take up to two hours, include up-hill walking and it’s best to take a drink.

If ‘strenuous’ is more to your liking, expect stiles, hills and rough terrain and be out for up to three hours.

But it’s at a pace to suit everyone and don’t forget to take a drink and snack for a stop along the way.
