Hassop Station Circular (22nd September 2026)
Twenty two walkers with five dogs between them met close to the dog agility field in Bakewell in readiness for one of Paula’s annual walks from Bakewell. We joined the Monsal trail close to its start and continued on to the old Bakewell railway station. The trail was fairly busy and as always we had…

The Bushy Tailed Trek (15th September 2026)
Nineteen walkers and one dog met in the Sands car park in Low Bradfield on a pleasant morning. Nineteen was a good turnout because it’s a decent drive from Dronfield. We set off along quiet roads steadily uphill towards Foxholes. Foxholes (specifically Foxholes Farm) is a 19th century farm featuring holiday cottages, and wedding venue…

Frith Wood and Summerley (16th July 2026)
For most walks our attendance is in the high teens, so it was no surprise that on a very warm and pleasant evening seventeen walkers and one dog turned up. However, I was delighted to see that five of the group hadn’t walked with us before. The walk is a tried and tested route that…

Moss Valley Woodlands (25th June 2026)
As we were in the midst of a particularly hot spell with temperatures predicted to be 27 degrees at 7pm I was pleased that nine of our group turned up at Coal Aston Village Hall. As it happens there was a moderate breeze which helped enormously. We started out through the wheat fields to meet…

Staveley and the Chesterfield Canal (21 May 2026)
Twenty walkers and three dogs met at Hollingwood Hub ready for Joe’s four mile walk along the Chesterfield Canal. We appear to be at the start of a very hot and dry period so it was shirt sleeves for most of us. We walked along the canal towpath (Trans Pennine Trail) seeing lots of wildlife…
