We will start at 11.00 am at Ashover Village Hall, On street parking or there are usually plenty of spaces at the Village Hall, SK 351632. Most of the route is not on the White Peak map, you need Explorer 269, Chesterfield and Alfreton. My plan is cunningly to avoid all the steepest ups and downs in the parish, taking us via Hockley Quarry to Fallgate, Milltown, Overton Hall, Goss Hall and Butts Quarry. The route is about five miles, suitable for the short winter days but can be lengthened with some steeper ground included according to the enthusiasm and fitness of the party on the day. There are, of course three excellent pubs in the village should anyone happen to be interested in such establishments.
