What to Expect

This is a moderate hike with a mixture of riverside trails, woodland paths and open countryside. There are some climbs, rocky and uneven sections, and paths may be muddy or slippery following wet weather.

A reasonable level of fitness is recommended, but this is a social Summits Up hike and nobody gets left behind.

🚻 Toilets: There may be seasonally open public toilets a few kilometres into the route, but we cannot guarantee these will be open. Please make sure you use the toilet before arriving and are comfortable with the possibility of needing a wild wee in an emergency!

What to Bring

Please wear suitable walking boots or sturdy trail shoes and bring waterproofs, warm layers, plenty of water, snacks and lunch.

Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control and on a lead around livestock.

After the Hike 🍻☕

Afterwards, we’ll be heading to The Farmyard Inn in Youlgreave for a well-earned drink and a chance to carry on the chat.

There’s absolutely no obligation to join us, but everyone is welcome – it’s always a lovely way to finish a Summits Up day.
