[Nottingham] [WALK] Saturday 3rd September - Riber & Dethick (with possible sculpture studio tour)

[Jason Irwin]

A nice easy one next month following a rough square from Riber near 
Matlock, passing over Bilberry Knoll, East to Lea, North through Dethick 
until we turn West before Tansley to get back to Riber. Annoyingly I 
can't find a decent on-line version but this blog post gives a decent 
account of things 
http://www.countryimagesmagazine.co.uk/walks/walk-riber-dethick/

The only real rise is Bilberry Knoll so unlike the previous walk(s), 
sturdy boots shouldn't be a pre-requisite.

I don't mind trying to arrange a visit to the sculpture studio if there 
is enough interest: http://www.wildlifesculptures.co.uk/

We have the choice of food & drink in Lea  about half way round 
(http://www.jugandglasslea.com/), detouring into Tansley 
(http://www.taverntansley.co.uk/) nearer the end of the walk or even 
somewhere inviting afterwards. We stumbled into a cracking place near 
the Roches last time.

The is no public transport beyond Matlock to Riber.
Parking might be a bit of a sod in Riber, so I suggest we go in as few 
vehicles as possible.

It's only around 50 mins from Notts to the start point. Given our 
stomping rate, with a 0900 depature from Notts I would expect us all to 
be home around 1400 or so, maybe a bit later if we have the tour. If 
folks want to push the whole thing back by an hour or so, totally happy 
to discuss that will all attendees.
Kit: Comfy shoes, jacket in the even of rain etc.

Please let me know off-list if you'd like to join, are interested in the 
studio tour and if you're a driver or need transport.
