Thursday 3rd October
"The walk starts at Hartington Station car park (it's pay & display, so bring some cash).  Leaving the car park we'll walk back up the road we've just come down for a short distance and then take a farmers track until we meet the High Peak Trail, then take the trail to Parsley Hay.  From there we'll take the Tissington Trail back to Hartington.
The walk is just under 5 miles with a moderate climb at the start and levels out for the rest of the walk (and not a stile in sight).  The surfaces are good with only the farm track being stoney, if wet the track might be slippy.
Hartington is about 7 miles from Buxton on the A515 to Ashbourne road and is sign posted "B5054, Tissington Trail".  With postcode SK170AZ, my sat nav wanted to take me further on under the railway bridge but you should turn left to the car park just before the bridge.
I've been in touch with the Duke of York (about 3 miles back towards Buxton) for those wanting a meal, and they would like to know the total number.  So please let me know if you want a meal a couple of days beforehand."
