Overview

We start with a steady ascent up the Snake Path to the shooting cabin followed by a slow descent via White Brow to the bottom of William Clough where we will have our coffee break. From there we follow an undulating path with a couple of short steep climbs to the bottom of Kinder Low. We then have a steady ascent up on to Kinder Edge via Red Brook (no scrambling). Lunch will be just before we reach the top. We continue on to Kinder Low trig point, Edale Rocks, Swine's Back and a descent via Oaken Clough, Tunstead Clough Farm and Hill Houses back to the cars.

The walk is 9.5 miles moderate/strenuous with 2150ft of ascent.
