Meet at parking by Hope Primary school, 8.30am.
Share cars to main Edale car park for 8.45.
Up Grindsbrook, scramble up N branch, Kinder Downfall via bog, Fairbrook Naze, Descend Fairbrook or Fairbrook gully, ascend to Seal Stones, short crossing to Edale. About 17km..
Rosy hints on the tops on the early morning drive over to Edale. After the meet leader had been reminded of the start time five of us set off up Grindsbrook, taking the North branch to the plateau. Just enough water to make this fun scramble practical. A navigational senior moment took us directly to the top of Fairbrook, rather than Kinder gates – but that was the aim in the end anyway. We descended Fairbrook Gully which has managed to unjustifiably sneak into the scrambles guide. Fine autumn colours descending Fairbrook. Back up to Seal Stones and over the short crossing to Edale. A lovely day. Thanks to my bog trotting companions.
