This guided walk might appeal to you if you are:
slowly building up your fitness
curious about mountain walking but you don’t want to take on too much too soon
wanting to try out walking on rocky terrain at an easy level
new to the area and looking to meet people
nervous about walking on Kinder Scout alone
At the end of the walk we will go to a cafe or pub for refreshments. This is optional and you will need to buy your own drinks/food.
The walk up is steep going up and down but we will walk at a very steady pace and take plenty of breaks. There will be some rocky terrain where you may need to use your hands a couple of times but this is at an easy level and your guide will support you if you need it. There is one wooden stile to step over a fence.
Walking poles would be useful as the final section is steep and can be slippy on the grass. Parking information, a kit list and a weather forecast will be provided in advance of our walk together. Walking boots are and waterproofs are essential. If you have any questions please email:
