Hound Tor or Bust

we can have 6… though that might change too. If a second group ventures here we will keep our
distance and wave.

In order to respect Tier 3 travel restrictions currently in place, this year ‘Ye Olde Christmas Walke’ will leave its traditional home in the Peak district and take place in neighbouring Nottinghamshire on Sunday 27th December. Unfortunately, restrictions also mean that this year’s walk is only open to members who are local residents.
The Club wishes that everyone read and understand the current rules for their Tier.
