In addition to my main service of devising a walk specific to your particular requirements, I also offer a number of
'Standard Walks' which give people a 'taste of the Peak District'.

Starts and finishes in Youlgreave. This walk passes through 6 Peak District villages, all exuding their
own very different charm & character. As well as the villages, we will walk through lovely dales and rivers along the
way (so be prepared for mud in inclement weather!). The route takes us past the 'Nine Ladies Stone Circle' before descending
back into the peaceful Bradford Dale and back into Youlgreave.

Edges, Mines & Plague Walk |
Starting and finishing in Hathersage, this walk has something for everyone... rivers, forest, gritstone
edges and even high moorland.
The walk incorporates the villages of Upper & Nether Padley, Froggatt, Stony Middleton, Eyam (Plague
Village) until descending back into Hathersage. A walk through an area oozing with archaelogical, geological and
historical interest.

Postboxes on Kinder Scout |
Before you ask.....No! These aren't the big red metal postboxes you see on the street corner! These are
small boxes hidden on top of Kinder Scout. There are 4 (that I know of) which contain a book, a stamp and various other bits
of trivia. People write a short message in the book, stamp their own log-book and then move on to find the next. On Exmoor
& Dartmoor, finding postboxes has became a big thing and there are literally hundreds of them hidden on the moors.
Fortunately, we only have the 4 on Kinder, so this walk is really manageable! I wont say where they are....you will have to
join me on the walk. Needless to say, this walk will involve some stiff climbs onto Kinder Scout.

This walk starts and finishes in the one of the most famous villages in the Peak District, Castleton. If
you ever did geography or Geology at school, you've probably visited Castleton on a Field-Trip! Situated on the geological
border-line of the Dark & White Peak, Castleton is famous for its show-caves and dramatic limestone gorges.
The walk passes by some of the caverns and proceeds to climb up Mam-Tor (Shivering Mountain) and then along
the Mam-Tor Ridge with fantastic views into both the Vale of Edale and the Hope Valley. A final descent from Lose Hill brings
us back into Castleton, where there are plentiful tourist shops and pubs serving good food and good beer.
