WALKING GROUP
On arrival at the church gate we were informed by our leaders, Eric and Helen that the arranged walk at Hathersage needed to be changed as it would be unsuitable for us. So it was decided that we drive to Longshaw car park which turned out to be a very good decision as we were lucky enough to find a parking space for both cars and had a delightful walk on a warm, sunny day.
After eating our sandwiches outdoors we set off through the Estate with Burbage Brook running beside us. Children were enjoying themselves in the river while their parents sat on the grassy banks among the detritus of picnic paraphernalia. Padley Gorge is a popular place for families and everyone seemed to be taking advantage of the last weekend before the children returned to school for the start of the new term.
As mentioned in last month’s magazine, the walk on Sunday 4th October has been cancelled. The Rector will be taking his last service on that day, which will be followed by refreshments in the Eagle Club.
