What you can join around Southwell · Everything local in Southwell
Meets: Monthly on Wednesdays 8:00 am (Fourth Wednesday in every month)
Where: Southwell Leisure Centre Carpark, Southwell
The group hikes in the Derbyshire Peak District, covering good lengths of around ten miles across both the challenging gritstone moorland of the Dark Peak and the more moderate limestone scenery of the White Peak. Members take turns, often buddying up in pairs, to plan, recce and lead a hike, and the group likes to have light refreshments in a local cafe or pub before the journey home. Walkers gather in the long stay car park at Southwell Leisure Centre from about 7.45am to share cars, with a prompt 8am start on the fourth Wednesday in every month. Journey times of about an hour and a half can be expected, depending on the starting location.
- What to bring Good outdoor gear is essential, including hiking boots, a rucksack and warm and wet weather clothing, along with a packed lunch and water or a hot drink. Walking poles and gaiters can be useful.
- Who it is for Walkers need a good level of fitness, as footpaths vary in quality and stiles, mud and wet conditions are likely.
