This is a long hike which starts with a steep hike up lose hill. The conditions on the great ridge can be challenging at times. There is also a steep ascent down from Winnats Pass. If the weather is wet we will have to be extra careful.

GET SOCIAL THIS JANUARY! This event is one of loads of events taking place over the same weekend! Check out all the events over the weekend of 17-19 January 2025: OutdoorLads.events/JAN25. Great for new and regular members!

Join us for a hike from Castleton, this hike will take us through the village of Castleton in the direction of Hope. Castleton is a popular village situated in the Hope Valley. The Village was founded after the building of Peveril Castle in 1086.  We will take a turn up Lose Hill after a short walk along the road after leaving Castleton. Lose Hill is a steep hike to the top, however the views from the top (and on the way up) are stunning (unless it's foggy, don't hold me responsible if this is the case). from the top of Lose Hill we will then walk along the Great Ridge past Hollins Cross and on to Mam Tor. The Great Ridge is a ridge separating the vales of Edale and Castleton and is approximately 3km long from Mam Tor to Lose Hill. The views of both valleys are breathtaking.  From Mam Tor we will hike back in the direction of Castleton past Winnats Pass, we will be walking the fields above Winnats Pass close the cliff edges, this will offer some great picture opportunities . Back in Castleton we can enjoy a well deserved pint. This hike is 11.1KM and will take approximately four and a half hours depending on pace and lunch stop.
