Useful Information

Please wear suitable footwear and clothing and have a waterproof as the weather is often unpredictable.  Please carry a drink.  Walk leaders reserve the right not to take a person who is not properly equipped or who is, in their opinion, unfit.

In poor weather the walk may be modified by the leader or, in extreme conditions, it may be cancelled.

Young walkers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

All those taking part do so at their own risk.

On some walks, you can reach the starting point by public transport (check the symbols below each walk).  Please be aware that bus times are subject to change so please check details at Chesterfield Visitor Information Centre when booking tickets or online at www.travelineeastmidlands.org.uk.

If parking in Chesterfield town centre, you may be able to purchase a parking scratchcard allowing you to park for as little as £2.50 for the day.  Ask for more details at Chesterfield Visitor Information Centre.

Walks will start promptly.
