Summary
This walk is a tough undertaking — a challenging undulating route of 22 miles involving nearly 2,900 metres of ascent. Designed as a challenge walk to be completed in under 12 hours, it starts and finishes at the Nag’s Head public house in the popular walking village of Edale. The route circumnavigates Kinder Scout, taking in most of Kinder’s famous features including the three trig points, Grindslow Knoll, Edale Cross, Crowden Tower, Seal Stones, Druid’s Stone, Mad Woman’s Stones, and Mermaid’s Pool, with a final ascent of Ringing Roger before descending back into Edale village. On successful completion of the challenge, a pint in one of the village pubs is certainly well earned!
