Out on a limb

For those who like to sleep in, Alex will lead a walk from Millhouses Park up to Ringinglow. But don’t be fooled by the late start and proximity to the city, because this is a 12-mile walk with a gentle incline pretty much the whole way!

There's a whole programme of events running over the weekend, but the Saturday night ceilidh with the award-winning Melrose Quintet – who sing while playing their vibrant mix of lively dance tunes – is sure to be one of the highlights. Check them out on YouTube if you don't believe me! (NB also known as Melrose Quartet depending on members singing/playing at the time).

I wonder how, I wander Wye

Through moderate in distance (8.7 miles) and ascent, Emma’s linear hike will be relatively fast-paced and therefore suitable for those with a bit of walking experience. Starting from picturesque Bakewell, there will be lots to see on this route.

Board Games at the Pub

Still too dark for a weekday walk? We’ve got you covered! Join us for a night of dice-rolling, card shuffling and questionable rule-bending as we venture to the RUTLAND ARMS to play board games!

We have a private room above the pub and they serve good cheap food and drinks, so feel free to order food if you fancy!

Got games? Bring them!!! I have 3 games (Scrabble, Ticket to Ride, Bananagram) and the pub has a couple too, but if you have something you think the group will enjoy please bring it along! Let us know in the comments if you are bringing something.

Can’t make it? Don’t fret! We will be trying to repeat this social regularly throughout these darker months.

See you there!
