We will meet near Elton Church at 10 am for a 10.15 departure. There is no car park in Elton but you should find space either on Main Street, or Well Street which goes down beside the church. Please park considerately and car share where possible to reduce the number of cars.

The 17km route heads to Dale End then up Gratton Dale and Long Dale. After a short road section we head to Middleton and then drop down to walk alongside the River Bradford as far as Youlgreave. The Limestone Way takes us up to the non limestone Robin Hood’s Stride and from there we return to Elton.

Bring a picnic lunch. If the weather is good and you fancy joining me for a dip at the swimming area in Youlgreave bring swimming stuff. There is no café in Elton but hopefully we can get some suitable post walk refreshments at the Miner’s Standard in Winster.

Please let me know if you plan to come. Thanks. Janet Briggs
