Edale Skyline (April)

Join me for a long loop around the Edale skyline!

Discover the ridges of Hope Valley with women who want to spend more time outdoors, switch off from the everyday, and share an experience in a safe and supportive environment.

'Edale Skyline' is a 27km loop around the ridges of Edale, Derbyshire. The hike starts at the car park beneath Mam Tor and follows the Great Ridge anticlockwise towards Hope. We'll then head onto the Kinder Scout plateau via Crookstone Hill and follow the edge path past Ringing Roger all the way to Edale Rocks and Swine's Back. We'll descend to Brown Knoll, before passing Lord's Seat, on our final stretch to the car park.

This walk is an ideal training walk for anyone who has booked or is thinking of booking my multi-day hike 'Intro to the Pennine Way', but it is open to everyone.

WHY WALK WITH ME?

Hi there, I’m Kate!

I’m a chartered marketer and hill & moorland leader.

I'm also a member of the British Mountaineering Council and Mountain Training Association.

After walking the Pennine Way solo in 2023, I left my full-time job in marketing to forge a new path. My business, House of Comms, has one goal: to take the stress out of marketing, one step at a time. Walking is at the heart of this mission as it offers creativity, connection, and community, which is why I run netwalks and walkshops as well as consulting.

Where She walks* has nothing to do with marketing, however, and all my walks are open to women aged 18+ who want to take that first step in a new direction, towards a new goal, or simply...forwards!

You can find me on LinkedIn or Instagram under House of Comms and Where She Walks.
