Moderate | ||
| Sunday 18 October 2009 | DERWENT VALLEY HERITAGE WAY | Leader: Barbara |
| The Derwent Valley Heritage Way is 60 miles long - from Ladybower to Derwent Mouth on the Trent near Shardlow. It's not a long river but it's a lovely one with a lot of interest on its banks. The first section will start at the Heatherdene car park next to Ladybower and finishes at Baslow and, according to the book, is exactly 12 miles. We'll meet at 09.45 at the gate to the dam wall at Ladybower (GR 201 854) - on the opposite side to the Heatherdene car par park, towards Yorkshire Bridge. Bring a packed lunch. Obviously a linear walk has transport problems hence the early start. There are buses as follows: From Chesterfield the 89A gets to Heatherdene at around 09.30. From Sheffield the 242 gets to Ladybower at around 09.25. There seem to be quite a few buses back from Baslow to both Chesterfield (66 & 170) and Sheffield (181). The other option is to team up and leave a car at the main car park in Baslow and another at Heatherdene. There was a bus that connected Baslow with Bamford/ Ladybower and went on to Sheffield but I can't see it on the new timetable. If anyone is better at reading timetables than me (not difficult) and can confirm it is still running please let me know. If it is it would be worth parking at Baslow and catching the bus to the start, bus times permitting. The next section (Baslow to Matlock) will be spring 2010. That'll be easier to organise - we can park at Matlock and get the bus to the start at Baslow! Moderate | ||
