A Castleton Circular DATE 28.01.2012 |
Scafell Pike DATE 10.12.2011 |
I had no idea there was any snow in the Peaks today. It wasn't until we were approaching Hathersage and I saw hill after hill topped with the pure white stuff. Excellent! I was even more excited now about revisiting a walk I had done a few years back. A truly classic Peak District walking route that everyone must do at some point. The only problem with this route is starting it from Castleton. Castleton had several inviting pubs and I find walking past them quite difficult. Just like last time, I incorporated Cave Dale into my route and followed the Limestone Way before cutting across to Mam Tor. |
Beacon, Millennium Hill and down Hangman's Our little expedition was increased by 3 last night after our walk above Newlands (see here) with the arrival of Andrew, Ben and Geordie to our Lakeland retreat. It was good to see Ben again as I hadn't seen him since the Everest Trek last year. Today's route was a bit of a classic! A day of unsettled weather is once of the better times to visit Scafell Pike.. Thus eliminating the crowds. Although we got a little more snow than expected. Our ascent route was up Styhead Gill and along the Corridor Rout. I wanted to mix things up a little from Seathwaite Farm as I usually go up Grains Gill. |
