EDALE SKYLINE PEAK DISTRICT CHALLENGE WALK
With Mark Reid FRGS – author of ‘The Inn Way’ & Mountain Leader
Hope – Win Hill – Hope Cross – Kinder Scout – Brown Knoll – Mam Tor
32 km (20 miles) – 1,200 metres of ascent – 10 hours
The Edale Skyline Challenge Walk traces a high-level route around the head of the beautiful valley of Edale in the Peak District, following ridges and escarpments including Win Hill, Kinder Scout, Brown Knoll, Lord’s Seat, Rushup Edge, Mam Tor and Lose Hill.
Highlights include: Kinder Scout and the weird and wonderful rock formations of the Woolpacks, the ‘shivering mountain’ of Mam Tor, the Great Ridge, the battle of Lose Hill and Win Hill, Peak District’s finest viewpoint, ancient Hope Cross and its Roman Road, and the Madwoman’s Stones!
It is a demanding walk (20 miles) and so must be approached with preparation and training, but it is also an rewarding walk that will be remembered for many years for its variety of landscapes, terrain and amazing views.
