Unlike most who visit, however, we were able to call on two cars to maximise our time on the ridge and save any of the slightly tedious walking down in the valley.

The Great Ridge forms a finger of high ground from Mam Tor to Lose Hill and is justifiably popular as it commands sweeping views of Edale, Hope and the surrounds of Kinder Scout and Derwent Edge. The modest ridge that separates the two valleys, the Great Ridge as it is known, would provide our walking pleasure today, as it does for thousands of visitors every year. Summits: Rushup Edge (550m), Mam Tor (517m), Barker Bank (426m), Back Tor (391m), Lose Hill (476m), Win Hill (462m)Īfter a day spent exploring Grindsbrook Clough and the southern edge of Kinder Scout, I was back in the Peak District this weekend to make the most of a sunny summer afternoon in Hope, the parallel valley to Edale.
