Join Dean, one of our Trustees, and the STAMMA Striders walking group for a hike around the Derwent & Howden Reservoir.
Dean was the brains behind last year's It's How We Walk event, where our members raised £4.5k by walking, running or cycling throughout the month of June.
This year, Dean's back with another event! He and the STAMMA Striders invite you to join them for a hike around Derwent & Howden Reservoir in the Peak District on Saturday 6th September.
Dean has set himself an extra challenge before and after the STAMMA Striders walk, where he'll be doing more laps around the reservoir. You are welcome to join him for any of these, or you can just do the main STAMMA Striders walk.
Here are the starting times for the different options. Take part in one or more — whichever suits you:
- Full loop (15.8 miles): starting at 6am* (5 hours 30 mins)
- Bottom section loop: (5.6 miles): starting at 11:45am. (1 hour 45 mins) This is the main STAMMA Striders walk.
- Bottom section loop (5.6 miles): starting at 1:45pm (1 hour 45 mins)
- Full loop: (15.8 miles): starting at 3:45pm. Ending around 10:45pm. (5 hours 30 mins)
*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 (opens a new window). Scroll down for more details about the walk.
Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Walk details
Timings are based on 18–20-minute mile pace which should be achievable for most walkers.
See full loop route details (opens a new window).
See half-loop route details (opens a new window).
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.
STAMMA Striders
The STAMMA Striders walking group, co-run by Dean, meets regularly for social walking events in and around the Peak District area. If you'd like to join them for future walks, see the STAMMA Striders page for details.
