Description

Left Edale and climbed up to the ridge via Hollins Cross and Mam Tor. Route then headed west over Lords Seat/Rushup Edge before heading NW towards Brown Knoll and Edale Head. Followed the edge of the Kinder Plateau, past the top of Grindsbrook Clough and then headed down via Ringing Rodger and the Nab before returning to Edale. PLan had initially been to complete a longer 'horseshoe' route by continuing to the eastern end of the plateau and returning via Lose Hill however due to the heavy rain and also because my father was getting weary I took the decision to opt for a shorter route as described

Area : Dark Peak

Is situated between Sheffield and Manchester. The underlying rock is Millstone grit which is often exposed at the edge of the higher peat bogs for which the area is famous.
