Join Ian on this fantastic walk on the Eastern Moors in the Dark Peak. Autumn is a magical time of the year where the trees start to change colour, bird song fills the air and the sound of the Red Stag bellowing to signal the start of the rut.

During Autumn as the light starts to fade and the days get shorter, Red Deer (largest mammal species) start to compete over the females, as they lock antlers they battle to win over their rival, the winner forming a harem (group of females or hinds). 

This walk will start from Curbar Gap up along Curbar & Froggatt Edges with fantastic views over the Hope Valley. We’ll take in Longshaw Estate & Padley Gorge before our return leg over White Edge & Baslow Edge returning back to the carpark.

Please bring binoculars or scope for this walk as your sure to see the Red Deer out on Big Moor which is a spectacle to see.
