Long Walks

Our walk this month was to the Peak District on 2nd July and was led by Carol Green. We walked 7.96 miles over good paths; it was pleasant for walking as the weather behaved itself and was warm, without being uncomfortable.

It was a nice walk with stunning scenery; we walked through Stoney Middleton and Eyam, two beautiful old English villages. Eyam became famous by shutting itself off because of an outbreak of plague, 400 years ago. There are plaques outside each of the cottages telling who lived there at that time and what happened to them, which we took time to read. We finished off by having a cup of tea and cake at a pleasant tea shop in Eyam where we were able to sit outside as the Sun had shown itself.
