Sixteen of us gathered at the car park above Youlgeave (Youlgrave) for a circular led by Nigel. Staring in a very windy, cold but sunny morning we went the wrong way up the limestone way to the head of Lathkill Dale, downhill with the river, normally underground, today it was in full flow. Visiting old mineshafts we arrived in Over Haddon for n excellent choice of good ales. Back to the walk and down below Youlgreave following the river past the swimming pool and back up to the cars. about 10 miles, The weather getting warmer as the wind dropped, and with a final walk uphill to the end some overheating was inevitable.
