Unofficial Walk Saturday August 26th

Please see the Forum Policy on all Off-line meetings

 

I will be walking from Endcliffe Park up the Porter Valley to Porter Clough then back via the Limb Valley, Whirlow Hall Farm and Bingham Park.

 

Anyone fancy it? A stretch of the Limb Valley may be damp and there is a very steep climb up steps at one point but there is also a cafe and pub en route plus opportunities to duck out and get a bus back if bored with the company or tired or desperate to get some shopping done.

 

I will be starting at 10 from the Queen Vic monument. If anyone wants to come you can either post here or PM me.

I can't manage Saturday, but I'm up for walking on Sunday.

 

I hope all you Saturday-walkers have a great time! Anyone up for a walk on Sunday, as well, or instead if you can't manage Saturday?

Where's the monument? Is it at the hunters bar roundabout entrance?

Yes it is and dogs are most welcome

There's a 94.7% probability that I can make it on Saturday (assuming everyone is OK with a mysterious stranger tagging along )

 

Hmmm....I've never noticed a Queen Vic monument in Endcliffe Park...I'll just look out for a beagle

[Strix 11]

He'll be wearing his hi-vis jacket too

[taxman 12]

The monument is about 50 yards in from the main entrence from Hunter Bar roundabout, I'm sure the hi-vis Beagle will enable us all to find each other

I'm almost definitely coming. (Gets more definite by the day). I'd be honoured to walk alongside a Frank Black lookalike, so make sure you turn up, BF!

I've just got back from a delightful meander around Burbage with SHsheff and Grissom (thanks again for inviting me SHsheff) and hopefully they will confirm that I wield neither an axe nor any overly offensive personality traits.

I know we agreed not to mention the axe, but you didn't say we had to lie about anything.

 

 

Nah, we had a lovely walk in light drizzle, mist and low cloud (across the valley), and then clearing weather and a spot of sunshine to finish up with. Great to get out and smell the heather! And a quick bite to eat at Fox House after. Beat sitting in the house looking at the clouds (and the rain, which is falling again as I write this...). Most happy to recommend BlankFrack as a walking companion!

(repeated from health and safety awareness thread)

 

Taxman - would you say saturday's walk is a 'good pair of walking shoes', 'dog walking boots' or 'proper hiking boots' kind of event?

 

Are there any 'escape' points en route? and where are they?
