Twenty-four IOGers descended on Nether Ollerbrook farm cottages in Edale for the third year running. The infamous Kinder Egg walk took place on Friday 26th (there’ll be a separate post about that tomorrow) but the pictures below give an idea of some of the other activities that took place over the weekend.
On Friday, Ian led a group up to Hollins cross……and along the famous ridge.Other walkers took a more leisurely approach……and said hello to the locals.On Saturday, Sarah led a group through woodland……to Stanage Edge.Lou led a group to visit the Broken Road at the foot of Mam Tor.Some people explored the David Mellor Visitor Centre near Hathersage, which includes a display of the designer’s iconic street furniture.Simon’s walk on Sunday was up on Kinder Scout.Despite the occasionally dark skies, we were reasonably lucky with the weather.There was also a Castleton Highlights walk on Sunday, with a visit to Cave Dale and Winnats Pass……as well as a very windy Mam Tor!Evening meals were either at the cottage (as shown above) or at the Old Nags Head pub in Edale.
Overall, it was a great weekend enjoyed by all participants and Sarah’s hard work in organising the trip was much appreciated.
