Is Kinder Scout easy? That’s is what I was thinking when we decided to go hiking in the Peak District for bank holiday Monday. We had chosen a route that went up Grindsbrook Clough, across to Kinder scout and down Jacobs Ladder.
After going Hiking in the Lake District a few days before and climbing Blencathra ... I was worried I might struggle slightly with the climb as I had done then, but it was a bit easier this time round.
We still had to stop a few times on the way up from Edale, to the top of Grindsbrook Clough, especially on the last section that ended up being a bit of a scramble! But it was an amazing walk in the Peak District with some stunning views!!
We took our time walking along the ridge to go on the hunt for the true summit of Kinder Scout which stands 636 metres above sea level, 3 metres higher than the trig point at Kinder Low, so of course.... we had to visit both!
Then came the long descent down Jacobs Ladder, I could see the appeal of switching the route to climb the ladder instead to reach Kinder Scout, however ... I think the route up Grindsbrook Clough was far more interesting and scenic, and coming down the ladder gave gorgeous views out over The Valley so we were happy with our choice 😄
The path leading back to Edale station and car park was very pretty and even joined with the Pennine Way towards the last section. I would love to wild camp the Pennine Way, and if I can find time anywhere this year I will add it to my ever growing list of National Trails and long distance hiking trails I hope to complete this year.
My next adventure starts Monday April 12th I will be wild camping The Cleveland way, 110 miles across the North Yorkshire moors! I’m very excited 😆
4 days after coming home from that trail I set off on a wild camping adventure on the Cumbria way in the Lake District, myself and Emma are going to attempt to complete the trail in just 4 days!!!! Can it be done?? We will soon find out lol
