The Great Ridge 22nd August 2019

I haven't done this walk for a few years , so it was great to get back to Castleton to do it again.

The difference to all the previous times is that I came back via the remains of the A625 at the foot of Mam Tor rather than the Cave Dale return.

The route shown was anti clockwise. Parked at Castleton --> Lose Hill--> Back Tor --> Hollins Cross --> Mam Tor --> return via the old A625.

An excellent walk. About 8 miles OS OL1.
