 It was a very nice walk today. The weather was very kind to us and we returned to the cars in sunshine. It was lovely to see so many daffodils.

Thirteen intrepid Ramblers including guests from Cheshire joined Tony R for a lovely walk starting from Audley Community Centre and incorporating Apedale Country Park. There was lots of mud in places, but the rain thankfully kept off.

Thirty stalwart Ramblers turned up not knowing what was in store for them. We started in fog, but that didn't last long before being replaced by blue sky and, yes, the sun !! Our route was very muddy in places, but it rewarded us with fine views towards Hen Cloud, Ramshaw Rocks and Shutlingsloe in the far distance. At the end of the walk 15 of us stopped for refreshments at the local Wetherspoons PH.

Twenty three ramblers followed the swollen River Churnet and then up through Stoney Dale towards the Rangers Youth Hostel. We passed one of the Talbot Dog figurines by the side of the track where Brian L explained its history and we stopped for a tea break at the impressive Earls Rock. We then made our way past the Ramblers Retreat and up Barbary Gutter to the Chained Oak. At luchtime nearly everyone called in the Cricketers Arms PH for a well earned drink.
 
Thank you Brian for a great walk.

Twenty five walkers turned out to experience a very misty morning which spoilied the view ,but did not dampening our spirits. At least it was not raining!

After our morning break we found our way was  blocked by fallen trees. Then after some head scratching we retraced our steps  and found another route, albeit it was a little challenging with other woodland obstacles. 

The Red lion pub at the end of the ramble was a welcome sight for the 21 walkers who went inside.
