Location & Itinerary

Is this for me?

Our Sunday walks are always popular and we go out all weathers and all through the year. All walks in the Peak District need to be classified as moderate due to the terrain. Easier Moderate Walks are generally half day only around 6-8 miles.

Full day or Harder Moderate walks are normally not more than 10-12 miles although sometimes slightly more in summer months.

If you've not done much hill walking recently regardless of your general fitness level, we'd recommend starting off on one of these shorter half day walks, typically of around 6 miles before tackling our slightly more serious full day walks.

Meeting Point

The meet time is generally 10:15am for a start at 10:30am but some differ so please check the individual walks

Host & Everything Else

Climate And Weather

In the UK, weather can change rapidly so bring plenty of layers, waterproofs and ideally have proper walking boots with ankle support or similar stout footwear.

What To Bring

Jeans and basic trainers are not appropriate. Gaiters are definitely recommended and / or waterproof trousers, it can be wet and muddy! A drink/flask and a snack are always a good idea

Before You Go

General walk information:

You can buy ten walks for just £45. Having allocated your ten walks we can roll any over to a later date if needed but you must give us seven days’ notice as with other Spice Cancellations.

Our walks are always popular and we go out all weathers and all through the year.

All walks in the Peak District need to be classified as moderate due to the terrain. Many members share lifts to get to the meet point so although for some of you the brilliant scenery of the Peak District will be a little distance away you shouldn't have to go on your own which should be a whole lot nicer.

If you've unsure about your level of fitness or if you haven’t done much hill walking recently you may want to start off on one of our shorter, typically of around 6 to 7 miles to “test your fitness” before progressing to any longer, more serious walks.
