Weather dependent, it is my intention to walk the additional section described on the T&A link (we walked this section on 22.10.22).

The following is taken from the walk description for 22.10.22:  If there is a train service from Leeds, it should arrive at 10.38am. It is then a 10 minute walk to the start point.  The walk will start at 10.50am.

It is my intention to arrive around 10.30am so that I can hopefully get a parking spot and a bacon butty from the Fourth Peak Snack Van.
