Osmaston and Shirley, 21st July 2019

Jan led us on an 8 mile walk, part of the route of the Bonnie Prince Charlie Walk devised to celebrate the Ramblers' Diamond Jubilee. The walk follows the general route taken by Prince Charles Edward Stuart on his march in 1745 from Ashbourne to Derby, through woods and farmland.

In contrast to the last time this walk was done last October with just four members, we had a magnificent turnout of twenty one.

The start next to St Martin's Church, Osmaston

The group passed the old sawmill and through the rolling Derbyshire countryside for a coffee stop at St Michael's churchyard in Shirley.
