An early return to the Tap House in Buxton but this time for a beat-the-dark late September soiree and heading west. Being Buxton - expect the unexpected. It could be a balmy evening with a glorious sunset. Or it could be snowing!

Beat the dark! Catch the Sunset! Sunset will be around 710pm and it will be dark from 745pm. Earlier starters may have the advantage of daylight throughout! Wear hi-visibility clothing and bring a torch / head torch if you expect to be still out after 7pm!
Navigating with a specially prepared map, visit as many checkpoints as you can in the time available, S-punching using the MapRun app on your smartphone, Garmin or Apple Watch.
A great Town & Country Spunch area from a super Buxton town centre venue. A complete blend of beautiful parkland, woodland, and open hill country with great views and all connected by interesting urban sections between. Hilly options and less hilly options - something for everyone.
Will you go west & take on the climb towards Burbage Edge (or maybe the closer Corbar Hill & Cross) OR both! Or stay low in the Wye valley through the delightful Pavillion Gardens perhaps returning via the lower slopes of Buxton Country Park? Even locals will likely discover new paths and places!
The Buxton Brewery Tap House will provide a warm welcome with a great vibe and excellent Food & Drink available after your run / walk. With a fantastic selection of Cask & Craft Ales, the Tap House has both indoor and (weather permitting) outdoor eating and drinking areas. The pub is child & dog friendly.
