If you can see past the looming pantechnicon of festive fun that
is Christmas, that distant speck further up the road might just be
the first Peak District Walking Festival hurtling towards you.
The programme's set to run for two weeks next spring from om April
16 to May 2 and will be spread right across the area from the Hiogh
Peak, via the Derbyshire Dales through to Staffordshire's
moorland.
There will be a huge spread of guided walks with local experts
filling you in on the more arcane details of Peak life, history and
geography and what's more, they won't all be above ground - some of
the walks will take in local caverns and towns. Although towns are
above ground, but hey.
You can pre-register now to receive your free festival walking
guide at this
page. Now get back to deckiong the halls with boughs of holly and
other fascinating festive DIY tasks. Can you make decking from boughs
of holly btw, sounds uncomfortable...
