MEETING POINT

 Mam Nick car park ( S33 8WA) Parking free for National Trust members or £6 all day  for non members  It is perhaps worth noting  we are NOT walking up Mam Tor but are iinstead heading in the opposite direction towards Peak Forest

THE WALK 

The walk itself is a delightful and interesting walk  with great views over the Peak District throughout  plus a landscape including  numerous examples of grass covered hillocks and hollows that are the surface remains of lead veins and mines, the hamlet of Old Dam .and Eldon Hole once thought to be the entrance to Hell. 
There are a mixture of fields ,footpaths, tracks and quiet lanes (usually!!).
 Fingers crossed for the weather which at the time of writing was dry!

DISTANCE

Approx.7 miles ,moderate with some ups and downs with a few stiles
