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. | richard69 | 13/07/2023 |

From Castleton via Cave Dale (Limestone Way) and Mam Tor. Returned via Hollowford Road. | ma7asw | 10/08/2021 |
We parked just off the road close to the National Trust car park. Steepish climb up to Mam Tor with Amelia. It was cloudy and quite windy on the summit with lots of people about. From the summit we walked down to Hollins Cross and then up to the summit of Barker Bank. Retraced steps to Hollins Cross then headed down to Mam Farm. On the way down we got close to a Kestrel sitting on the path. From the farm we followed the abandoned road to Blue John Cavern and the road back to the car. Time taken 1 hour 45 minutes for 3.2 miles. | isabelle | 05/08/2021 |
