This is a walk on the Kinder Scout plateau, ascending via Crowden Brook; crossing to the less-visited northern perimeter at Blackden Edge; visiting the eastern end at Madwoman’s Stones and returning to Ringing Roger for the descent.
Bring a packed lunch. The route may be modified subject to the prevailing weather or ground conditions. The Kinder plateau is riven with peat groughs, and is largely pathless. Crossing of this area involves the negotiation of difficult, peat-hagged terrain; hence the grading is ‘strenuous’, in recognition of this and the sustained climb onto the plateau.
Meet at the pay car park at Edale train station. This is a small car park with limited space, and because of this, walkers are advised to arrive in good time. If this car park is full on the day, there may be alternative parking in the main car park or overflow field.
