Healthy High Peak walkers

High Peak Walks For Health continue on Thursday (March 12) with the weekly 10am start 'progression' walk from outside Glossop train station on Norfolk Street.

There's another station starting point for next Tuesday's 'easy' walk at 1.30pm from Newtown Station (SJ99 6848) in New Mills.

For those who like their walks longer and tougher, there's one described as 'strenuous', leaving Errwood Hall car park (SKO1 2748) on Long Hill Road in Buxton at 1pm next Wednesday (March 18). 

Here’s a guide to help you decide which to go for.

  • Easy - lasting up to 90 minutes and could include some stiles and hill walking.
  • Progression - taking up to two hours and includes hill walking. It’s advisable to take a drink.
  • Strenuous - more challenging, up to three hours in length and usually featuring stiles, hills and rough terrain, but at a pace to suit.

Walkers should take a drink and a snack for a stop along the way.
