Saturday 8th March: Padley Gorge Hike
-
When: 0945-1230ish.
-
Start/end point: Grindleford Train Station. I will be getting the 0914 train from Sheffield to arrive in Grindleford at 0928, and the 1251 train from Grindleford to arrive in Sheffield at 1304. There is parking around the station but it is limited - public transport always encouraged where possible!
-
Distance: 8km.
-
Terrain: off-road and unpaved, some steep/possibly slippery sections - for confident walkers.
This will be a gentle hike up Padley Gorge and then back through the Longshaw estate. I’d like this to be a more social walk, so we’ll have some time to chat as we go, as well as the usual quiet walking. I’ve planned a couple of stopping points for us to rest, but also to document what you notice, so please bring a camera/recorder, or use the ones on your phone, if that’s something you’d like to join in with.
Please dress warmly, bring a waterproof, water/snacks, and good footwear - you’re responsible for your own safety (though I’ll be bringing a first aid kit and am first aid trained). Additionally, feel free to bring anything you might like to document the walk with (recorder, camera, notebook/pencil). I’ll bring some printouts with a map and prompts on for everyone.
