C ome and join a group of like-minded women on an adventure in the Peak District! This route takes in some stunning scenery and beautiful views in the Derbyshire Dales. We will visit Magpie Mine and learn about its 250 year history, before heading through Monsal Dale and Deep Dale.T here is so much fascinating history and geology to learn about on this route, as well as local flora and fauna to see along the way. As there are some hills and uneven terrain, this 8 mile route requires an intermediate level of fitness.Distance: 13kmAscent: 445mTime: 3.5-4.5 hours (including breaks)Grade: Intermediate due to some of the paths being uneven and slippery in parts so some sure-footedness is required.Terrain: Mostly trails and footpaths - some uneven and slippery in areas. Always be prepared for mud this time of year! There are also stiles on this route.Who will be your guide?I’m Emily (AKA @trigsandteeth) and I’m a Hill and Moorland Leader based in Glossop at the edge of the Dark Peak. I’ve always been outdoorsy since being a young girl but hiking became a real obsession in 2019 when I started to go solo. I aim to inspire other women to learn the many benefits of exploring in the outdoors and I’m passionate about sharing my love for adventure with you.Transport:We'll be meeting at White Lodge Car Park, Buxton DE45 1NL (https://maps.app.goo.gl/WjzDoDx5q1k7i92P6) which is £4.75 to park all day (card only). There are toilets at the car park.What to bring:Hiking bootsSnacks/lunchRucksackWater (at least 1.5L)Waterproofs and warm layersHat and glovesW alking Poles (optional)A small first aid kit with any personal medication neededToilets: There are toilets at the car park but none along the way on the walk so we may have to embrace the good old ‘wild wees’ whilst we’re out! There are plenty of little hidden spots for us to squat in private!Safety:The whole point of the walk is to be an enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone so we will keep to a slow and steady pace. It's about taking in the views, learning about the history and geology of the area and being in nature, not about rushing to the finish line. Having said that, you are responsible for your own health and safety and with all outdoor activities, there can be risks involved. If you are unsure as to whether you are fit to come on this walk, please either consult your doctor or let me know your concerns. Please inform me of any medical conditions prior to the walk.I am a qualified Hill and Moorland Leader and I am level 3 Outdoor First Aid trained so I will be on hand in case of an emergency.Dogs:Dogs are more than welcome to come along, however, there will be livestock around and potentially other dogs, so they will need to stay on a lead for parts of it. There are also a few stiles on this route without a doggy door.Refund Policy:There are no refunds but you are more than welcome to sell your ticket if you can no longer make it. Please let me know in advance if this is the case.And FINALLY:This walk will be going ahead whatever the weather, unless I deem the conditions dangerous so be ready to embrace the good old British weather! I always email attendees 2 days prior to the event with a weather update.
