Overview

From the car park we walk south and then climb to Hollins Cross on the Great Ridge. We follow the ridge to Lose Hill before descending to Losehill House Hotel and then following the lane to cross the railway and quiet road before climbing up to Hope Cross. We then use the valley side paths back to Edale. Two long but not steep climbs, one descent from Lose Hill which may be slippy when wet. There will be mud in some areas. Please use the booking system for this walk. Total cumulative ascent 1950 ft. Tel 07907024305. Assistance dogs only. Full Day. Bring lunch and adequate liquids. Booking is essential and opens from 27/01/2026. Book using https://nmc-ramblers.org.uk/ or click link below.
