Win Hill and Crook Hill

About 9.5 - 10 miles moderate walk with approx 2000 feet of ascent. Will be taken at a steady pace that suits everyone.
The picture is Win Hill in its winter cloak. We are more likely to be greeted by a muddy win hill when we go. We can but hope though.
Pack your warm clothing hat gloves and waterproofs with a duvet or something else toasty for when we stop for breaks and lunch on the hill. Bring packed lunch, drink- hot is nice- plus snacks. Head torch just in case.
Sturdy boots with good grip are a must. No trainers.
Dogs welcome but please keep on lead around livestock.
We meet at car park on Carr Lane in Thornhill. Type in Carr Lane Hope Valley into google which will take you to the general area. The car park takes around 20 cars so is clearly visible. No toilets. It is free to park there.

Check out Thornhill Carrs nature reserve on Derbyshire wildlife trusts web site. It gives a clear description where the car park is if you are not sure.
Meet 9.15 ready to start walking at 9.30. We will not wait for anyone who is late.
We head north down Thornhill Carrs trail with some bird spotting on the way, bring your binoculars if you are interested. Bear with any twitchers if you’re not. We then head up Parkin Clough which is steep, muddy and usually slippy. Win Hill next stop then down to cross snake road and up and over crook hill. Nice little circuit.
I am not first aid trained or a professional mountain guide so attendance is at your own risk.
I’ll keep an eye on the weather and send a message with details of the forecast closer to the time.
