4. Kinder Scout. Conditions: thick fog, wet, dark. Interesting route finding exercise, managed ok! Summits: Kinder Low, Kinder Scout.
From Edale, west up Jacob’s Ladder, joined Pennine Way north, then cut across from Kinder downfall to the “summit” and down Crowden Brook. No path as such to follow over the tops… just 10ft deep peat bogs!
