Sunday 13 December 2009 A 17km circuit from Alstonefield starting at 10.00 am
From Manchester, head to Buxton then take the A515 towards Ashbourne. Continue past signs to Hartington and Biggin before turning right down a lane to Milldale and Alstonefield. Meet at 10.00 am at the free car park by the public toilets in Alstonefield. If this is full, park at the Memorial Hall and Community Centre Car Park (2 mins walk) or at the car park along the road signed to Wetton, Ilam and Dovedale (5 mins walk). Alternatively come via Leek and Hulme End.
Allow a good one and a
half hours from Manchester.
The Walk
It's about 10 km to the Waterloo Inn at Biggin, then a further 7 km - more if you decide to go via Hartington - to return to Alstonefield.
There's a brief commentary on an earlier visit here.
