Sterndale Green Farm, Buxton

This site is further than the usual weekends  but well worth it and  just shows you what a great area Derbyshire has  to offer, well worth the extra 15 to 20 minutes.

Onecote Grange

A fantastic week end attracting 21 units, 15 from Derby, with visitors from Staffs, North Staffs, Chesterfield and Trent Valley D.A’s.

A big thanks to Karl and Debbie Drew for stewarding the week-end. The weather although not as forecast turned out nice in the end.

On Saturday Karl led a walk to the Mermaid Inn, well worth a visit with some odd tails to tell, but do ensure your boots are clean or you take bags to put on. The Pub is a good walk through gorgeous countryside and meadow land with fantastic, panoramic views, or a drive of around 4.5 miles.

The site is on a working dairy farm, and, although being slightly uneven everyone managed to get level.
