Description

Date is approximate. The train was caught from Sheffield to Hope and then after walking into the village, we headed North along the Edale Road to join a track at SK168845, heading North West to reach the summit of Lose Hill. Fine views can be had from here and it is an excellent ridge walk. Care should be taken when eating sandwiches though as the sheep are not afraid to snatch the same from your hand!! Heading West it was an easy walk to Hollins Cross and Mam Tor (the shivering mountain). People often hang-glide from here and it's a fine sight to see. From the summit it was a walk down to the minor road where we crossed over and headed along Rushup Edge. At the time this was often overlooked by the masses so it was nice to get away from it all and admire the grouse moors and heather here. We continued along here to SK099829, where we turned North East to follow the Chapel Gate track to Barber Booth. We headed North and joined a path through fields to return to Edale where we caught the train back to Sheffield.
