A beautiful, spring walk through the ancient woodlands of the upper Moss Valley. There are some short but steep ascents through the woods. It could be muddy in places. Pub at the end.

Route: Springtime in the UK and it's time to stay indoors watching pageantry on the TV with the curtains closed against the strong spring sunlight in case it fades the furniture. Not likely, I say! This is a similar walk to the one I put on for the Queen's Jubilee. Or her funeral. Or something. One of those anyway. And, because I have been crowned King of the Walks Programme and I'm inherently lazy, I'm starting it from near my house (the one with the Johnny Rotten bunting). I've changed it a bit to avoid overlapping with Bob's evening walk the week before.

Quite a bit of climb in the first half then it settles down a bit. Jelly Babies at the top. Bassetts, none of that generic rubbish. Gradually the stunning view over Bradwell and Abney is replaced by another great view over The Valley of Hope. Then the whole shebang is replaced by stunning views over the pub beer garden.

Start Point Location: Mytham Bridge road nr Bamford Station Bus Turnaround, off Station Road, Sickleholme Bamford. Park at the far end of road but please don't obstruct driveways.
On A6013 heading south from Bamford, Mytham Bridge road leads off to the right, near the bus turning circle (between Bamford railway bridge and A6187 Hathersage to Castleton road traffic lights). Proceed to its end.
Overflow parking available in Bamford Station CP but we are not likely to need it as Mytham Bridge has quite a lot of spaces.
