Peak District – Kinder Scout.......

Kinder Scout may not have ascents that make your legs scream in and it doesn’t have the kind of drops that will make your heart pound and your knees tremble.


It does have a vast summit plateau that can only be crossed by negotiating your way through the channels and gullies between the peat hags that cover it and as the site of the Mass Trespass in 1932 it has a history that resonates to this day in the Access and Rights of Way that are enshrined in law as a result.


It's another beautiful part of our country with a cracking days walking which can become something quite spectacular IF the weather behaves......

Ringing Roger, which neither rings and or answer to Roger!

Barren, desolate, must be Kinder Low.


What’s the only mature thing to do at a trig point, climb on it and strike a silly pose of course!


Never work with Children or Animals!

A glorious sunset to round off a cracking day.
