Guided Trail Runs: A trail run where we'll take you on a tour of the area. Usually either away from the usual landmark area or a less used way of getting to the landmark. For all our Guided trail runs as long as you can jog the planned distance on the flat you'll be fine. These are social runs where we'll have walks up the hills and stay together. We operate an all is welcome policy on our 'Guided Trail' runs, there's no fees or membership etc required, just register you're coming via the google form LINK . All our past routes can be found on HERE.

Leaving Bakewell town centre, we head up through Ballcross Wood before tracing countryside trails past Edensor and the western edge of the Chatsworth Estate. Crossing Calver Bridge, we pick up the scenic path running parallel to the River Derwent and winding through Froggatt before finishing up in Grindleford.
(Option to drop out at earlier bus stops along the way like Pilsley, Baslow or Calver if you prefer a shorter run, before hopping on the open-top Peak Sightseer bus back/onward to meet at the end).
The return journey is on the Peak Sightseer. Its a 2 bus trip using Blue Route and Red Route - Grindleford to Chatsworth, then Chatsworth to Bakewell. Time table below. They run hourly all day, so no granular logistics required
FACILITIES
Pay & display car parking and public toilets at the start in Bakewell. Cafes and pubs at both ends (Bakewell & Grindleford) and along the route. Return travel options via the open-top Peak Sightseer bus (or local services)
All our organised runs are purely done for fun ie not for a fee. If you're not a Youlgrave Harriers member we do ask that if you ever pass through Youlgrave that you drop a donation into the Friends of Youlgrave School charity box (in the shops and pubs) to support our area.
