Hide AdA club spokesman said: “The main 13-mile ramble will explore beautiful dales with great views.
“There will hopefully be an easier shorter route, if a leader can be found, along easy-to-follow paths. New members are welcome.
“The walk starts from Monsal Head enjoying views down the Wye Valley.
“We follow the path along the tops and then drop down into Hay Dale and follow a minor road before turning off for Wardlow Hay Cop, an open nature reserve with extensive views.

“After lunch, we head south through fields following the path above Cressbrook Dale into the village of Cressbrook.
“There follows a descent into Water-cum-Jolly and then into Monsal Dale.
“The final section leads us into Ashford in the Water for a 6pm coach departure home – and there may be time for a quick visit to one of the pubs before setting off.”
