Ashop Scrambles Sunday 19th Jan

[Kial Wright]

This Sunday, the 19th January will see us heading to Ashop Clough & Kinder for an 11 mile route taking in 3 grade 1 scrambles (Nether Red Brook, Upper Red Brook and Fair Brook).
Setting off at 9am from the layby on the A57 at Birchin Clough (grid ref SK109 913).
The scrambles offer lots of different lines to suit interest levels and are generally on clean water washed gritstone (expect to get wet feet).
Hope to see plenty of you there, can you let me know if you intend coming along or if you have any questions.
I can offer a lift as I pass through Sheffield, drop me a message and we can arrange.
Cheers
Kial

Six Humans & 1 Dog departed Birchin Clough car park on crisp frozen ground and headed up Fair Brook, scrambling up frozen rocks and waterfalls to emerge on the Kinder plateau. Following the edge round to the top of Upper Red Brook the party then split in two, with Kial & Mike opting to descend the brook to the fence line to the bottom of Nether Red Brook and making the accent back to the plateau. The rest headed cross country to Kinder Downfall and we all re grouped along the Pennine Way while heading to intersect with Ashop River.
We all then enjoyed a sociable stroll back down the river, through woodland and back to the carpark. See the walking WhatsApp group for photos.

Thanks to all that attended.
