This is a more challenging walk than usual for the group – at 8 miles and with some steady steep inclines for the first third of the walk until we get onto the top of Kinder Scout. The walk should take about 5-6 hours but we will have plenty of rests en route plus a lunch stop as usual. The paths are quite rough and rocky in places and its likely to be wet under foot – at various points we cross the stream. So boots definitely recommended – even if its cracking the flags! There are no cafes or pubs on the route as this is quite a remote area (sorry!) so please bring everything you need – drinks, sandwiches etc. You’ll also need waterproofs just in case the heavens open while we are on the route – it is quite exposed on Kinder.
