Bit of a disappointing walk in cold misty weather. The idea
was to meet up with Jake who was on a walk as part of a stag weekend. They had
set of via Jacobs ladder and were heading around the rum to the top of
Grindsbrook Clough.
Although I say it was disappointing it was still great to
get out onto Kinder again. The problems I hit was when I needed to cross the
brook to pick up thje left hand footpath. There was just too much water
tumbling down – normally this isn’t a problem in summer as there is less water
, so it is easy to cross. I has to backtrack a half a mile down to find a place
to cross but then the hit more problems when I needed to cross again a bit
further up. I could just see the plateau rim through the mist (maybe 200 yards
up), but I decided to backtrack down to Edale. Jake and his party got lost in
the mist and missed the top of Grindsbrook, coming down via Ringing Roger. So I
would have probably missed the RV anyway.
About 4-5 miles OS OL1 Dark Peak
