Bethany Hopkins was an enthusiastic cheeky young girl. Beth had a lot of things that she enjoyed including: Circus, (silks and trapeze), rock climbing, hanging around with her friends and much much more but sadly we lost Beth on the 23rd of April 2023.

We all met at Endeavour in 2019 where we were all called the CAP group we then proceeded into many other groups to support the local community. With Endeavour Beth did a lot of outdoor and indoor activities that everyone enjoyed. From canoeing to pool at the centre.

Outside of Endeavour Beth did camping with her family, aerial skills at Greentop Circus and Beth also hung around with her friends. The achievements we made were going on the sailing trip where we had fun and also questionable times. Beth always stood up for people, she enjoyed scrolling through tik tok. Beth was also really creative. She loved dying her hair pink and vibrant colours. Bethany’s favourite colour was teal.

Bethany is deeply missed by everyone who knew her, her family, close friends and us here at Endeavour.

Endeavour are planning a fundraising walk on Sunday 8th September 2024 from Grindleford station to Bradfield burial ground at Stannington. The route is:

1. Start in Grindleford: Begin your journey in the picturesque village of Grindleford, located in the Peak District National Park. Take some time to explore the village and its surroundings before setting off on your walk.

2. Follow the River Derwent: From Grindleford, follow the scenic path alongside the River Derwent towards the north. This tranquil riverside walk offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and wooded valleys.

3. Pass Through Froggatt and Calver: As you continue northward, you'll pass through the charming villages of Froggatt and Calver. Enjoy the traditional stone cottages, lush green fields, and peaceful ambiance of these rural communities.

4. Cross the Derwent Bridge: Near Calver, cross the historic Derwent Bridge, which spans the River Derwent. Stop for a moment to admire the river below and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

5. Enter the Peak District Moors: After crossing the bridge, the route begins to ascend gently as you enter the open moorland of the Peak District. Enjoy the sweeping vistas of heather-clad hills and rocky outcrops as you make your way towards Bradfield.

6. Descend into Bradfield: As you approach Bradfield, the terrain becomes more undulating, with gentle descents leading into the village. Take your time to soak in the peaceful atmosphere and rural charm of Bradfield as you make your way towards the burial ground.

7. Arrive at Bradfield Burial Ground: Your journey concludes at Bradfield Burial Ground, a serene and tranquil spot nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Peak District. Take a moment to pay your respects and reflect on your walk before heading back or continuing your exploration of the area.

This route offers a delightful mix of riverside paths, picturesque villages, and expansive moorland scenery, making it a memorable and enjoyable journey from Grindleford to Bradfield Burial Ground, finishing the day at The Rose and Crown Inn at Stannington
