This is the last walk I put on here as attendances have dwindled. If anyone else wishes to take up the mantle they are welcome to do so.
Walk starts at the bus Terminus on Shepley St Old Glossop. To get there go through Glossop on the A57 and look for the Commercial Inn. If coming from the east turn Rt into Manor Park Road, if from the west turn left. There are public toilets on Manor Park road you might wish to use. Follow the road into old Glossop and turn rt at the Queens arms on the corner of Shepley St and Manor Park Road. If you go past the Church you have missed the turn. Go along Shepley street to the end where there is a circle for buses to turn round near a factory, You can park here for free.
Start 10.00 for 10.30.
The first part of the walk is a long climb on to Bleaklow so best get it over with before it gets too hot. Then we yomp across a few peat groughs to the plane wreck and then to high Shelf Stones with views right across the peak district. Back to Glossop vis Doctors Gate.

As this is the last walk that Doug is putting up on peak trekkers it would be a nice show of appreciation for all the hard work he has done over the last 3 years if one or two who have not been lately to turn up for this walk as a thank you, i know i will be there to show my support and say thanks to Doug for some great and entertaining walks that he has lead.
The toilets are in the park on manor park road about half way up on the left.
Post code for the Queens Arms pub for sat nav users is SK13 7RZ.
