Hardhurst Farm Camp Site, Hardhurst Farm, Hope Valley, Derbyshire, S33 6RB, Tel: Tel: 01433 620001
The campsite is fairly basic but has free hot water and showers, an on-site cafe and is only a 100 metres from the Travellers Rest pub. What more do you want for a single night! Cost is £4.00 per person per night.
Leave M1 at Junction 29 and head into Chesterfield. Take A619 out of Chesterfield (Follow signs to Chatsworth House). Continue on A619 to Baslow where you take 2nd exit on roundabout on to A623 and follow it to Calver. At the traffic lights in Calver (By Outside Store) turn right onto the B6001 and follow it to Hathersage (Left turn required in Grindleford). In Hathersage turn left on to A6187 and head towards Hope. Turn right just after the Travellers Rest (Just after the Bradwall turning on the left). Campsite is before you cross the railway line. Distance from Warwick is 105 miles. See Map.
In addition to being a regular weekend climbing trip, this trip is designated as being a beginners trip. So if you're a beginner, have never climbed outdoors before or just want to gain more experience, this is the trip for you. Experienced members of the club will be on hand to offer guidance and encouragement and to make sure you get the most out of your climbing. If you want to make it just a day trip, that's just fine too.
The trip will be based on the eastern gritstone edges so take your pick from Bamford, Stanage, Burbage, and Froggatt and Chris was over heard to say that he would like to visit Higgar Tor.
There is plenty of mountain biking in the Hope/Edale area. Chat to DaveB, JohnB or Mike for more details or visit Rockfax's Dark Peak Mountain Biking.
