Although this section of the Geo walk will take place in perfect weather on June 20 don’t forget your suncream, hats and shorts. The route is described following this link:
https://peakdistrictgeowalk.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Section-12.pdf
It’s 18 km long with 530m of ascent from Fairholmes over Lost Lad and Back Tor to Moscar and then the full length of Stanage to Burbage. We need cars at the start and end, so please let me know if you’re coming along. It’s also possible to shorten the route by leaving a car at Cuthroat Bridge and saying goodbye at Moscar or Crow Chin. If either of these options appeals let me know and we’ll try to arrange something.
If you want to be enlightened with knowledge about the route (other than its geology) I can send you a fact sheet of info gleaned from the internet. There are no pubs, cafés, restaurants or mobile food outlets on the walk so be prepared.
The route is linear and parking at each end can be problematic, so a 9.30 departure from Fairholmes seems reasonable, with cars left at each end. It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Fairholmes to Upper Burbage Bridge. Could you please let me know if you are going so we can co-ordinate transport.
