    Join us for an inspiring evening as local adventurer Ken Reece shares the story of his long-distance 155 mile walk he has created through the stunning landscapes of the Peak District. The Peak Way Walk  takes you from windswept ridges to quiet valleys, Ken will guide us through the route, the challenges, and the moments of beauty that makes this journey unforgettable.

    Ken’s presentation will include his hiking experience, how he conceived the idea of the Peak Way, how he brought it to fruition, published a guide book and created a website. He will show how successful it is and how it has developed from being just ‘an idea’. The presentation will include a video of the Peak Way Walk.

    There will be a question and answer session, and the opportunity to buy the guide book at a special event price.
