food & drink for the day.
We will go round the skyline in a clockwise direction.

See you next SaturdayWalk Report
9 of us left from Hope Primary School.
Breezy & overcast conditions meant we didn’t
overheat on the ascent of Lose Hill. Here we had
a quick drinks break before taking the ridge to
Mam Tor where one of our party departed.
Coffee etc. taken at Mam Nick. Ascent of Rushup
Edge & Brown Knoll followed with the weather
still in our favour. We then climbed up to the trig
point at Kinder Low, our high point of the day. It
was then on to the large rock outcrop before the
Wool Packs where we took a welcomed break for
lunch. Our route through the Wool Packs peat bog
was remarkably easy due to the very dry conditions of late. We were the blessed with enjoyable sunshine
all the way round the rest of the Northern skyline
where a good pace was set on the reasonably level
terrain. Early afternoon tea was consumed at the end
of the ridge before the descent to Hope Cross.
From here the long haul up to Win Hill followed then the descent back to Hope via Twitchill Farm.
Reasonably busy on the whole route apart from the
Rushup Edge to Brown Knoll & Ringing Roger to Win
Hill sections.
19.63 miles – 3457ft of ascent – walking time of 7hours
48 mins. Average pace 2.5mph.
A traditional pint in the Old Hall Hotel followed – much
appreciated by all.
Many thanks to my fellow “Skyliners” A grand day
out and definitely a “good craic”
