A Walk Lead by John Gobin
10.5 miles, 1800ft Ascent
We leave the town center towards the south and walk alongside the River Derwent, then start a steady climb over the next mile and a half. Cross over a road and walk alongside into open moorland climbing gently towards Higger Tor (1391ft) with some amazing views across the landscape. We then drop down slightly towards a carpark, cross over the road and head north towards White Path Moss (1499ft) where, weather permitting we can have lunch. Once on the move again we head north west onto Stanedge Edge for the next couple of miles. You may see Hang gliders and Paragliders together with a number of climbers along the route. We then start to descend down a gravel path, then a steep descent through a field of ferns towards N Lees road, onto the road, then off a track heading back downhill and eventually into Hathersage.
There will be very little shelter along the route, so hopefully not too much sun, Wind and Rain ....
Hathersage has a good choice of Pubs and places to eat. on the Main Road, which is a short walk from the car park.
The Coach should be able to park in the Oddfellows Road Car Park. The closest toilets are on the main road (A6187).
