Edale - Kinder Scout - Optional Accommodation
20 people attending
0 places left
4 people waitlisted
An entertaining hill-walk combining alternative Pennine Way routes. Clambering up a deep clough, the route navigates the maize of peat channels on the Kinder plateau to arrive at Kinder Downfall, before returning via the plateau edge and an old pack-horse route with a stepped path (Jacob’s Ladder).
Due to the time of year PLEASE ensure you have the adequate kit, Kinder Scout can be pretty wild at times and it's not a place you want to get cold or wet.
I'll be staying in the YHA in Edale (which is also the walk start location) on the Friday & Saturday night so feel free to join. We'll meet in the lounge area at 7pm each evening with more info nearer the time. Possibly if other leaders join we can do alternative routes. there are several discount codes around that will get you up to 15% off.
