Wayfarer Hike: The Bear in his Backyard

We invite you on another memorable and invigorating journey with Matt, aka the Mountain Bear.

This time we're venturing into the heart of bear country, setting off from the charming Derbyshire village of Ashover. We'll traverse scenic trails that wind through lush fields, woodlands and hills encompassing the tranquil beauty of Ogston reservoir.

Expect to be captivated by the many panoramic views this area has to offer before arriving back in Ashover, where there is a choice of three quaint pubs if you're in need of post hike refreshments.

Distance: 10-12 miles, with an estimated duration of 4 to 5 hours.

Mandatory Kit: 

• Hiking boots or trail/fell running shoes
