Overview

Starting at Edale village, we will ascend the Nab via a short scramble to reach the edge of the bleak but beautiful Kinder Scout Plateau. We will walk clockwise as far as Crowden Tower, a huge rocky outcrop. Here, we plan to cross the peaty plateau over Crowden Head to reach the Kinder Downfall. We pick up the Pennine Way and pass Kinder Low before descending down the Jacob's ladder path.
