7th April Kinder Scout

Another walk with Erica and Damien.

Up via the Nab. Around about the second zig after the stile we started hitting snow drifts left from the snow earlier in the week.

This is the first time I had been on Kinder Scout covered in snow. several times on the walk we sank up to our knees in drifts. We scrambled to the top of ringing roger, stopped for a quick break, and then set out on the edge towards the top of Grindsbrook. The views (as usual) were stunning.

Quite a hard slog with the snow drifts to negotiate. Erica's feet were soaking.

From Grindsbrook , along to Crowden Tower, Woolpacks and then back down via Jacobs Ladder.
Despite the snow there were plenty of folk out  - including one group with a dog carrying a rucksack.

Stopped for a nice pot of tea, at the station cafe before setting of home.
