Night Hikes with Alpkit Hathersage and Story of the Stars

See that stars above... and hear them come to life! Fancy seeing the Peak District in a different light? Join us at Alpkit Hathersage for an evening wander up to Stanage Edge and back. For this one off hike we will be joined by Alistair Littlewood, a professional storyteller, who will be enchanting us with a story basied on the constellations! We’ll meet at the shop at 6pm, lace up our boots, switch on our torches and head for the hills. Expect fresh air, dark skies and a different perspective on one of our favourite local spots. The route covers 8km and takes around 3 hours, with a few steep uphill sections to get the legs working. The paths are non-technical, so you don’t need to be an expert mountaineer – just happy to get outside and put in a bit of effort.
