Kinder Scout Walks (via Jacob’s Ladder) from Edale : 8, 9 + 10-Mile Routes – Peak District Walks
https://peakdistrictwalks.net/kinder-scout-walks-edale-jacobs-ladder/
One of the circular routes described on the link above. Length will be weather / time dependent.
My preference is for 10 miles.
I last walked this particular route in it's entirety on 06.04.14, so some time spent navigating may be required for the valley areas (Grindsbrook Booth in Edale - Upper Booth - Jacobs Ladder).
I last walked part of the valley route on 23.02.19, when I walked from Edale to Upper Booth, then up Crowden Brook to Kinder Edge, to Kinder Low and Kinder Downfall, and back to Edale by Grinds Brook.
I walked along Kinder Edge on 25.05.24, when I did the Edale Skyline (which passes Kinder Woolpacks and the top of Jacobs Ladder).
Please bring spare warm clothing and waterproofs.

I'm staying in Edale for the weekend and am also leading a walk on Sunday.
