Eyam Walk 12th August

 Eyam Walk

17 Swogs and Swogettes set out from Foolow this morning, for what turned out to be a very nice days walking.

It was quite a warm day to start and we made our way down into Bretton Clough for our morning elevenses
from there a good track through the woods although in places still quite a bit muddy leading towards Hazelford, a sharp right turn at Tor Farm led us uphill to our lunch stop on a grassy hill overlooking Hathersage.

Finishing lunch we made our way over Eyam Moor and down into Eyam itself along the way passing Ladywash mine and Eyam YHA.  We stopped in Eyam for about 15 minutes to finish the last of our flasks and have a look in some of the craft shops in the courtyard, unfortunately this is where the rain came and then the last mile or so back to Foolow where we managed to grab a well earned drink in the very nice Bulls Head Pub.
