thecyclist   10 #1 Posted December 12, 2009 Had a lovely walk along the Monsal Trail today. The weather was cold but the blue sky made up for the chill. Of course walking along the old rail line meant it was nice and dry too. I started to think of the other walks I love, there is Burbage, Stanage and Mam Tor. Derwent Edge, Alport Castles, Grindsbrook. Frogatt and Curbar. But I also like walking around Langsett, Agden and Strines and the northern part of the Peak, which I think is much under apprecaited. I wonder what other people have as their favourite walks around here.  Thanks for reading  http://www.wapentac.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
scoobz   10 #2 Posted December 12, 2009 I like the White Peak too, especially Dovedale and Lathkilldale. I also think that there are places closer to home that are underrated too, like Wharncliffe Crags, Porter Valley, Bradfield, Wentworth.

Agent Orange   11 #5 Posted December 13, 2009 My favourite would have to be the areas around Birchover. An amazing walk with varied terrain and amazing views. Furthermore, having the curious Rowtor Rocks to explore, The Nine Ladies and the Corkscrew on Stanton Moor and finally, Robin Hood's Stride. Great round walk!

taxman   12 #6 Posted December 13, 2009 Grindsbrook is one of my faves. I find the scramble up the dried river bed a bit scary, which makes reaching the top all the more satisfying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

scoobz   10 #9 Posted December 13, 2009 Grindsbrook brings back horrific memories for this Shambler, when a group walk became a nightmare as about 20 of us got swept of the hillside there in force 9 gales. If we do it again, it would have to be on a calm, rain free day for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
thecyclist   10 #10 Posted December 14, 2009 Grindsbrook and the nine ladies are all favourites of mine as is the manifold valley which is a little further south.
