14 intrepid walkers enjoyed this walk in the delights of the Goyt valley. Distant mist still allowed for some superb views, and the sun was our companion for a large part of the day.
The walk began at Derbyshire Bridge, heading into the Goyt Valley via Berry Clough where we followed the valley northwards towards Errwood Reservoir. A short steep ascent followed by a short steep descent afforded us of some great views of both reservoirs, where it was pointed out to Linda it was the reservoir level that was higher and not the hill since the last time I was there.
We continued on to lunch in the car park on the west side of Errwood reservoir before heading up to Pym Chair for the final ascent to Shining Tor. We had great views and could see as far as Warrington. From there we headed back down into the valley for the final route march back to the car park in time for tea and medals!
We covered around 10 miles, and hope everybody enjoyed the day, and the beautiful sunset, as we headed home.
