Houdkirk Moor Burbage Moor 10/06/25

 Although I go out walking every day from home, this was the first time out on a 'hike' since finishing the Pennine Way.

There are car parking fees for the Burbage bridge car park now so I parked on a layby near Higger Tor. The origiginal plan was an anti clockwise circuit following Houndlkirk Road and then over to Redmires res and back along Stanage Edge. However, I changed 'in-flight' and opted for a shorter 7 mile walk past the Ox Stones and then across Burbage moor on an unmarked path back to Burbage edge.

Very enjoyable. Suprisingly after some of the epic days on the long distance trails I wa feeling quite tired towards the end.
