Wednesday 19 March


Another good walking day for a 10 mile route from Pleasley to Clowne, via the Meden Trail, the Archaeological Way, Poulter Country Park, and Elmton.
Not quite as far as that mathematical genius, Jedidiah Buxton, who walked from Elmton to London in 1754 with the intention of seeing King George II.
Many thanks to Andrew who delivered 12 of us to Clowne spot on time for the bus back to Chesterfield.

Saturday 15 March

A sunny, but typically blustery March day.
Many thanks to Reg for leading a mixture of 28 sighted and visually impaired walkers on a circular taking in Linacre and Holme Hall.
New volunteers to lend a guiding hand are always welcome on these much appreciated monthly walks with our visually impaired friends.

One regular guider was sadly missing today. There is an appeal on her behalf to raise money for the
Guide Dogs charity.

Wednesday 5 March



Many thanks to John, who led 22 from Calow to Holmewood today, via Sutton Scarsdale, Stainsby Mill (where he does a bit of volunteering for the National Trust), and the Hardwick estate.




There is another walk planned, this time from Chesterfield town centre to Stainsby, with a tour of the Mill as part of the Chesterfield Area Walking Festival in May this year.
