Greetings!

The B29 Overexposed Crash Site and Higher Shelf Stones walk is one of the more wild, harrowing and captivating walks in the Peak District National Park in England.
The aircraft crashed near Higher Shelf Stones on Bleaklow during a routine daytime flight to the US Airforce Base in Warrington. It’s believed that the pilots thought they had passed the hills of Bleaklow, but due to low cloud cover their visibilty was obscured and the aircraft hit the ground a little over 2,000 feet above sea level.
It is a place of peace where you can visit a sobering memorial to the 13 crew members who lost their lives on the impact on the 3rd November 1948. A memorial was built in 1988 by the servicemen from RAF Finningley, which states, "It is doubtful the crew ever saw the ground".

Distance: roughly 14 km.
Time: 4 hours (it could be longer, if you stop at the B29 crash site to take pictures).
Elevation Gain: 160m
Difficulty: moderate, it is a short circular walk, but visibility can make this more challenging.

The B29 Crash site and Higher Shelf Stones is a fantastic short walk, but other exciting hikes are nearby. All great. All different.
