Lots of walking stuff

Sunday 7th August - Kinder Scout again

I was planning a solo walk along Curbar / Froggat edge, but got an invite up to Edale from a friend (Trevor). So with various family members that made a group of six.

We went up via the Nab , and Ringing Roger, and then did the edge path round to Grindsbrook, Crowden Tower, Woolpacks,and down via Jacobs ladder.

Compared to last week this was like a walk in the park.

Jake and Rowan didn't bring any waterproofs and sure enough were soaked when we had a downpour!! However, after the rain cleared and the wind picked up for a while they soon dried off. We stopped for lunch just below Crowden Tower, and found a piece of metal which could be a bit of aircraft wreck. I took a pic and put it back where we found it.

There were three guys with a dog who tried to climb down the gully near Crowden Tower - the poor dog didn't seem that keen. I have never tried that - it looks pretty steep. Sure enough they returned five minutes later looking for another way down.

Another great walk on Kinder, and a nice change for me doing it in a group.
