3 intrepid walkers and 2 dogs( Lolly & Po) braved the elements for a terrific walk from the Grouse Pub even though it only stopped raining for 20 minutes while we managed to have lunch it did not dampen our spirits. the 11 mile walk led by Scott found us walking along paths that were streams and crossing streams that had become rivers although enjoyable all the same.

The family walk went well with eight families and nineteen children storming up and along Stanage Edge with not a single "Are we there yet?" to be heard. An ice cream van had even conveniently parked at the end.

There seems to be lots of interest. There is a 5 year spread of ages among the kids so the ones we are doing are very easy for the older ones so I think if this continues to be as popular as it is there may be a case for throwing in a few more challenging ones for the older ones- maybe as an extension of a shorter walk. Pat and myself could devise one and spilt our family into fast and slow.
Its good to have them so regular as the kids are getting to know each other now.

We had a brilliant 16 mile walk yesterday from Hathersage along Stannage Edge.

The conditions were perfect as can be seen from the photos. A pity there were only 4 of us, but this did enable us to make good progress.
Cheers, John.
