Circular from Edale - Brown Knoll, South Head, Mount Famine, Kinder Scout (true summit) and Grindslow Knoll.peterh22/10/2023
Parked at Barber Booth - still spaces at 9.30! Up PW to Kinder Low trig, then across to Kinder Scout, which was surprisingly dry underfoot. Then down to Noe Stool and the stone path to Brown Knoll, Rushup Edge, Mam Tor, Barker Bank and Lose Hill and back via Hollins Cross. Lovely day and weather. Solo. Good to see the large number of kids out on DofE expeditions - prime time, prime location, post exams.richard6913/07/2023

Chapel Gate track, then paved path all the way to Brown Knoll. On to 633 trig. Across the moor in mist to Kinder summit. Pym Chair and the mist started to clear dramatically. Followed the edge as far as Grindslow Knoll. Down To Edale and pub. Across fields back to car. With Rick and dogs.jenx17/01/2022
With Jenx and pups from Barber Booth. Up Chapel Gate and round over Brown Knoll, Edale cross, Noe Stool, Kinder Summit, Crowden Rocks, Grindslow Knoll, Edale and back.nordicstar17/01/2022
From Edale main car park, already two thirds full at 08:45. With Peter J. Grindsbrook Clough, then path past Pym Chair. Didn't bother with previously bagged Kinder Scout true summit. Onwards to the col above Jacob's Ladder. Stone path all the way to the Brown Knoll trig. Then pathless and steeply north east to join the Pennine Way between Jacob's Ladder and Lee House. Pennine Way back to Edale. Lovely day out on a fairly cold, calm, dry, bright day.Owen B15/01/2022

A very easy walk on the slabbed path from South Head, on a walk from Hayfield to Castleton. A bit of a disappointing top after the first two (Mount Famine/South Head), but onwards to better things (Lord's Seat).thesweetcheat08/09/2021
As part of a fell run around the Edale Skyline.Wheelsy31/08/2021
Joined the Pennine Way at Upper Booth and passed several hundred Duke of Edinburgh Award kids struggling up Jacob's Ladder under heavy packs and a strong sun. We bagged Kinder Scout, the Sandy Hays trig and Mill Hill before heading down to Hayfield for a well earned pint at the Sportsman. The way back involved crossing the River Kinder just opposite the pub and getting onto the Pennine Bridleway up to Mount Famine and South Head before heading NE to Brown Knoll. A fine pavement next took us down Golborne and across the Chapel Gate ROW back to the car park between Barber Booth and Upper Booth. Great walk ... 7.5 hrs including a 45 minute pub stop.summitter01/07/2021

A fine high level traverse around Edale. Starting from the free parking at SK 108 847 . Up Crowden Clough to Kinder Scout, across the plateau (variable snow cover) to Kinder Low. Then along the ridge on the south side of Edale to bag the 3 Deweys of Brown Knoll, Lords Seat and the very busy Mam Tor. Then along the ridge over Barker Bank, Black Tor to the viewpoint indicator at Lose Hill. A total of 23km with 820m ascent in 6h 50m. (S)silveracorn_alan13/04/2021
13 mile walk from lay-by on road east of Slackhall. Along easy Pennine Bridleway up to South Head, re-bagging South Head and Mount Famine then descending to River Sett, then along footpaths towards Oaken Clough. Then we followed a surprisingly good trail along edge of Kinder to Red Brook. Along to Kinder Downfall which was blowing upwards, then along Pennine Way to Kinder Low trig and excellent flagstone trail across Brown Knoll, back down to the lay-by. 805m of ascent. A few people about on this sunny/windy day. Good views across to Wales. Earlier that day bagged Eccles Pike.DanTrig29/03/2021
