Never get lost.
*you might get lost so always have a plan and be well equipped.
Edale & Hayfield Circular
This is a circular route taking in both Edale and Hayfield. You can start from either. Part of the route (from Hayfield) was taken by the Mass Trespassers who sparked the Right to Roam movement. We recommend catching the train to Edale and stopping for lunch in Hayfield.
Not Quite the Edale Boundary Walk
A walk very similar to the bi-annual locals extravaganza ‘The Boundary’. A mammoth effort that for true completion (meeting the boundary edges) requires some off piste local knowledge. Our nod to it sticks to paths where possible but covers roughly the same distance and duration.
Grindleford to Edale Reverse
This is one of those walks you’ll need to make sure you’ve had a good hearty breakfast to get you through. As well as a good lunch in your napsack for the journey. As well as some snacks to give you a pep up when the legs begin to wobble at the end! It. Has. Everything. Get your eyes on Padley Gorge, Surprise View, Higger Tor, Stanage Edge, Ladybower… you get the idea. It’s huge!
New Mills to Edale Reverse
We’ve really outdone ourselves here. This walk gives you so many options for all the family. Get off at New Mills and those less keen on a long day on the hills can take in the fabulous Millennium Walkway and Torrs Riverside park while the more energetic folk in the group can set off along the Sett Valley Trail to climb Kinder Scout in the path of the Mass Trespassers, reconvening in Edale to share your highs and lows!
