Help with a Peak's walk

No shortage of great walks there, why not park at the big pay and display
(or get the train) at Edale village and go up Grindsbrook, muck around on
the plateau if you're OK with map and compass, maybe go over to Mad Womans
Stones and the brilliant northern edge, then back down Crowden to Edale?

I have enjoyed two outings on Kinder, one from Barber Booth via the Wool
Pack and Jacob's Ladder.

The second from Kinder Reservoir via Kinder Downfall Oaken Clough.

I will back in the area very shortly and am seeking advice on whether it
is worth considering a walk from Grindsbrook Booth taking in Ringing Roger
and maybe back along the valley some how, any suggestions on whether this
is worth doing or a good route of seven or eight ish miles would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,

MP

You can pick up a walk leaflet from the Information centre at edale
which goes up this way. Ive been up as far as ringing roger and it
seems to be okish stop for breathers. It gets steeper as you reach the
plateau.

A favourite of mine is up Grindsbrook onto Ringing Roger and then walk
east along the southern edge path.(Very well marked & easy to
follow)Then either head down into Hope or carry on to top of Win Hill &
then down into Hope.Get the train back from Hope to Edale.Great Walk!

The Peaks are much much bigger than just Edale and Kinder. Why not
try a different spot ?

Derwent Edge
Goyt Valley
The Roaches
Morridge
Three Shires Head
Bleaklow
Stannage
Dovedale
Manifold/Hamps

Don't starve yourself.

Those are some of my favourite walking areas, don't want others crowding me
out . . . . . :-)

We are sticking to this area in particular on this short trip Chris as we
are stopping in Castleton, we will be exploring further south in May when we
have a week in Matlock Bath.

Walk up Grindsbrook is well recomended ,then maybe cross the short
distance to o the northern edges, along then to Jaggers Clough.Return
down Ringing Rodger , because the steps are murder to go up.The info
centre is shut ,till, it looks like June ,still putting the steel work
up.Its snowing and there are still patches up on high to make great
photos. Best wishes

Fair dos. Alternatives within easy reach of Castleton could be the Win
Tor - Lose Hill circuit from Hope, Hag Lee to either Crookstone Knoll
or Alport Castles. Derwent Edge is still close. One of my favourite
Dark Peak walks is the Westend valley to Bleaklow Stones. You can
park on the Derwent access road where it meets the Westend river.
All lovely, weather permitting ;-)

Not bad except I would always recommend getting the train first
(they're every 2 hours)and walking back to the car so maybe park at
hope or if camping/drinking at edale reverse the walk.
