Recently I purchased a great little book called Scrambles in the Dark Peak by Tom Corker and Terry Sleaford. I came across this route and thought it was ideal for Noah to do with me. Check the book out! It's got some cracking scrambles, well detailed and has routes for various abilities. The other thing that made me choose this one first is that I hadn't been on this side of Kinder Scout before. AND CHECK OUT THE PAINTING CREATED FROM THIS WALK. SEE BELOW |
Today I finally managed to get my good friend Colin out walking. He hadn't really done anything in the Peak District before so I figured a walk with the 'wow factor' was essential. I'm always up for climbing onto Kinder Scout but I wanted to change slightly from the route I have done in the past. I always find myself transfixed on Mount Famine during my regular descents back to Hayfield so today I decided that we would attack it first. It's a lot more gradual than it looks from a distance and it wasn't long before we were taking in great panoramic views for miles around. |
