Family Walk
February 26th saw the first family walk of 2012, with Christmas and New
Year now a distant memory. Four families, made up of 6 adults and 6
junior members set off from Whaley Bridge along the old Cromford and
High Peak railway route. The children ranged from 7 to 11 in age and
were all boys. It was the first time on a SWOG family walk that we
haven't had boys and girls along as far as I can remember.
We headed up via Taxal to Taxal Moor, stopping to admire the view across
the Goyt valley and to take photos. Lunch was at the top of the hill,
with views in the opposite direction towards Lyme Park. Then down into
Kettleshulme and back to Whaley Bridge along Kishfield Lane, pausing at
Kishfield Bridge to play poohsticks with very big sticks and to watch a
heron. All in all a very respectable 6 miles and with no complaints
except about the country smells!
