Overview

BOOKING REQUESTED

Head along lanes and paths from the car park, behind Losehill Hall, and ascend to Lose Hill.  Along the ridge to Mam Tor, and descend to the road by Winnats Pass. Continue southerly, then east to join the Limestone Way and return to Castleton. Hopefully there will be a good festive vibe in Castleton, which we will enjoy for a while after the walk with a café or pub stop. Christmas jumpers, Santa hats, tinsel, etc are optional, but strongly encouraged!

Risk assessment: Paths rocky and uneven in parts, may be muddy / boggy in or after wet weather.  May be livestock on route. Some minor road walking, and one road crossing by Winnats. Escape routes to shorten the walk if necessary due to weather conditions.
