Full walk of the mam Tor ridge, including Rushup Edge, with a circular return via Edale with the UEA Fell and Mountaineering Club Christmas trip. Walking with a group that included a number of novice walkers and international students new to the area. I proposed this route, careful plannig was required to make best use of limited daylight and in judging how far to take the circuit given a relatively large group (circa 15) with varying experience.
