Event Description:

This enjoyable day walk will see you walk through five seperate Dales in the White Peaks.  Two of them (Flag Dale & Peter Dale) are little secrets of the White Peaks and are rarely visited by the hoardes of walkers often found in the adjoining Millers Dale.

Our walk starts from Millers Dale along the Monsal Trail until we turn off and head up Monks Dale.  At the top of Monks Dale we enter Peter Dale.  Peter Dale leads us up onto the Limestone Plateau at Tunstead before we re-enter the valley bottom in Flag Dale.  Chee Dale, our last Dale of the day, is famous for it's stepping stones (pictured above).  After we complete our walk we'll head to a local pub for a drink and/or a meal, of course if you want to head off there's no obligation to stay.

Walk Level:

Beginners: These events are, on average, under 7 miles and very easy to navigate along paths and tracks. There could be small obstacles such as gates and stiles and the route could involve crossing open farmland. However the terrain should be easy under foot with trainers or walking boots (good condition and good tread) being suitable.  Please note that if you wear trainers they are not likely to be waterproof and the chances are you will have wet feet by the end of the walk. 

Please note that the weather can affect the terrain under foot and it is essential that you check the weather forecast on the day and wear appropriate clothing.  We recommend that you check out a specific mountain weather service such The Met Office, Mountain Weather Forecast.

This event is fully guided meaning there is a LargeOutdoors leader with you throughout the day.  Everyone of our leaders is experienced in leading walks across all sorts of terrain along with being first aid qualified. As a group we will carry first aid kits, emergency shelters and any additional group safety equipment deemed necessary for this event.  However, you are also responsible for ensuring your own safety and carrying all essential and sometimes compulsory safety equipment.  See our kit lists further down on the event details for more information.

Compulsory Kit: There is no compulsory kit for this event, however please see out Kit lists for a list of what you should be bringing with you.  In extreme weather the leader may refuse you entry to the event if you have not arrived with suitable clothing and equipment, this is for your own safety.
