[Nottingham] [Walk] 20th Feb - Dovedale and Hall Dale

[Neal Ponton]

I'm off work this week and looking at flats, since I'm due to move house in 
the next month or so. If I've not got any pressing house-moving issues I'll 
be there. I was just thinking this morning that I should get more exercise as 
I felt my heart pumping after climbing the stairs!

I'll be leaving from Beeston with a spare car seat, should anyone want to put 
up with listening to Steely Dan, Miles Davis, or some other indie guff!

Neal.

> Starting out from the Dovedale Pay & Display near Thrope
> (> http://osm.org/go/eu2fmnjEl-?m=&node=1675754350> ), going past Thorpe
> Cloud (> http://osm.org/go/eu2ftLA8?m=&node=1675754350> ) and into Dovedale
> (> http://osm.org/go/eu2fywsj?m=&node=1675754350> ). Then through Hall Dale
> (> http://osm.org/go/eu2f0WVk?m=&node=1675754350> ) and back along 
> Ilam-Moor
> Lane (> http://osm.org/go/eu2feG6U?m=&node=1675754350> ) to the start point
> once again. This walks is a fair bit easier than Stanage Edge was.
> There's a couple of steep sections, but in general any gradient is
> gentle rather than "in your face".
>
> There's also plenty of opportunity to vary the walk depending on
> weather, speed and general interest: take in Milldale, head down to the
> River Manifold, sprint up Thorpe Cloud....
>
> Going to allow about 5 hours for the walk (the actual walk is a minimum
> 3.5 hours) for stops, general faffing around and a couple of more
> hours for getting there/back. So a 0800 start from home, should see you
> back there around 1500-1600.
>
> Bring sturdy boots, decent socks, waterproofs, lunch etc. Bad weather
> will halt the walk, a wee bit of rain/wind won't.
>
> Please let me know if you'd like to join and if you're a driver or need
> transport.
