Met with friend Richard at Castleton car park.
From there up Hollowford Road and across the fields to the top of Lose Hill. Right the way along the ridge to Mam Tor. Fairly busy on the ridge and a fair breeze blowing. Dropped just below the ridge near Hollins Cross for some lunch. Even though it is busy at weekends you get stunning views across Hope valley on one side and Edale and Kinder Scout on the other. To the north west is Win Hill and Derwent Edge
From the top of Mam Tor descended down to Mam Nick , past Windy Knoll . From there we crossed the Road and took the footpath past Rowter farm. This took us to the Limestone Way leading back down into Castleton via Cave Dale.
An enjoyable walk on a warm sunny day.
