The SRC continue their winter programme with a pleasant 10 mile circular walk in a rural area of North East Derbyshire, Sunday January 19th. Lunch break at Ashover with refreshments available. This will be an ideal introductory walk for new members who will be most most welcome.

The ramble starts at Higham and descends north westwards down to Ogston Reservoir. We then continue north along field footpaths to the hamlet of Handley and on to Hollins Green. Soon afterwards we pass through Farhill and arrive at Ashover for lunch.

In the afternoon we head south past Overton Hall and through the attractive Ravensnest Woods. The next port of call will be Ashover Hey and then across more field footpaths to the hamlet of Woolley beside Ogston Reservoir.
