Edale Sunset
An evening sunset hiking experience on Kinder Scout to reconnect with nature and like-minded people
Welcome to Freshwalks. This Sunset Hike event is part of our own vibrant business community programme and everyone is welcome to join us for an evening of hiking and networking in the great outdoors. Feel free to come alone - most Freshwalkers do - and you'll be warmly welcomed or invite a colleague or client along for company.
Route description
Edale is a small village at the start/end of the UK’s first and most famous long distance walking path - the Pennine Way. Our route heads through the village before we begin the initial stiff ascent of Kinder Scout. We zig-zag upwards via The Nab before we start to head west along the southern edges of the plateau. We will pass the top of Grindsbrook Clough - a potential picnic spot for us - before reaching the highest point of the walk at Grindslow Knoll which offers fabulous panoramic views of the Vale of Edale. From this point, we begin our descent back to our starting point, dropping rapidly into the valley below. A classic circular route.
Route: Edale - The Nab - Ringing Roger - Grindsbrook Clough - Grindslow Knoll - Edale
Distance: 8km
Grade: Hard (more info on grading here)
Max elevation: 601m / Total ascent: 481m
