On own. From Mam Nick car park short walk up to Mam Tor summit. Then back down to cross minor road and along bridleway to Lord's Seat. Summit just past 5000+ years old tumulus. Heavy showers and very windy.Beeliner01/08/2023
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

Final top of the day on a walk from Hayfield to Castleton, via Mount Famine, South Head and Brown Knoll. The best viewpoint of the day, but rather sad to see the Bronze Age round barrow is being fenced off due to erosion. Terrific views of Mam Tor from here. It seemed a long walk down to Castleton to get the bus from here.thesweetcheat08/09/2021

Our 5th Wedding Anniversary. Early Start from the NT CP to avoid the Bank Holiday Crowds. Visited Mam Tor First then looped round to Rushup Edge. Walked over the Tumulus then to a small Cairn near the summit area, wandered over all the grassy mounds just to make sure we had bagged the summit. Had a lovely hour relaxing on the summit watching the crowds on Mam Tor before heading off homeJephcote8330/05/2021
