Overview

Leaving Wash our first Peak is Eccles Pike where weather permitting we can see most of the walk. Descending through Whitehough and Chinley our next climb is up to Cracken Edge and the second peak, Chinley Churn North. Leaving the Edge we pass Peep O Day farm before our third ascent which is to Mount Famine soon followed by the final Peak South Head. Exceptional views from each peak.
