Join one of our Trustees and the STAMMA Striders walking group for a day hiking in the Peak District.
Dean Ridge invites you to join him and other members of STAMMA Striders for a hike around Derwent & Howden Reservoir on Saturday 6th September.
Dean has set himself a personal challenge of walking 43 miles around the reservoir several times in one day. But fear not, you don't have to take part in the whole thing — you can join in for one or more of these four stages:
- Full loop (15.8 miles): starting at 5am*
- Half-loop (5.6 miles): starting at 11:30am
- Half-loop (5.6 miles): starting at 1:45pm
- Full loop: (15.8 miles): starting at 3:45pm. Ending around 10:45pm.
*All timings are approximate and include short rest breaks.
The starting point for all stages is Fairholmes Car Park, Fairholmes, Bamford, Hope Valley Peak District National Park, S33 0AQ.
Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
If you would like to join in, have any questions or want to find out how you can fundraise at this event, email us as at help@stamma.org. There's also a Facebook page for the event where you can join and chat to others attending.

Walk details
Timings are based on 18–20-minute mile pace which should be achievable for most walkers.
The walk itself isn't totally flat but it doesn't have any really steep segments.
If you would like to come for either of the full loops, bring a suitable head torch as it will be dark first thing and late at night.
About Dean
Dean Ridge was the brains behind last year's 'It's How We Walk' series of events, where our members walked, ran and cycled throughout June to raise over £4.5k for STAMMA. The ever-intrepid Dean smashed his goal of walking 300km in one month and is now back for more!
He is also the co-leader of the STAMMA Striders walking group, who meet regularly for social walking events in and around the Peak District area.
