Join us for a hike in the Peak District! We'll be doing a circular walk from Hathersage, going along the river Derwent and up towards Offerton Moor.

The route is 4.9 miles / 7.9km and there is a steep ascent in the middle of the walk. The terrain is mostly fields, pavements/roads or good paths though there are some narrow and overgrown sections. We estimate it will take about 3 hours to complete - we'll go at a steady pace and there will be plenty of breaks, including one for lunch.

Cis partners, friends and family are welcome to come along too. Dogs are also welcome if they're able to handle the distance and terrain!

Please book a place if you're planning to attend so we know who to expect.
