About trip

A good walk to the mountain which will always be associated with the fight for rights for access to our countryside. Now we have unlimited access to Kinder but it took brave souls from the Manchester and Sheffield areas to gain our just rights to walk in freedom in our high places. Think about that when you heave yourself up the unforgiving rocky narrow valley of Grindsbrook Clough to Edale Moor and then acrooss to Kinder Downfall. At least you can revel in the views you have earned as you rest before following the edgeside path to the trig point which is a delight amidst all the weirdly shaped gritstone outcrops. Finish the walk by walking down the hard steps of Jacob's Ladder back to Edale. This is a good day out indeed.
