We are the Sheffield 40s Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This circular route begins by heading toward Lady Clough, leading us along the river toward Fairbrook. From here, the ascent begins, taking us steeply up to reach Kinder Northern Edge, Seal Edge.
We then transition into a stretch of rough, high-level walking across the expansive Edale Moor to reach Crowden Head. Joining a defined footpath once more, we head to Crowden Tower before turning onto the main Kinder Western Edge (part of the Pennine
Way). This section offers superb views as we descend towards Ashop Head.
The final leg of the journey takes us through Ashop Clough, following the river back to the start point at the car park.
Sign-Up: Please text the walk leader your name(s), and stating if not Ramblers member(s) by 8.00 the day before.
Please note that the estimated finish time is a guide only. Our return will depend on the group's pace and weather conditions on the day.
Be aware that I might not have mobile reception at the starting point.
Part of the walk involve rough walking (across open moorland rather than on established footpaths), thus sturdy boots and gaiters are essential.
Please bring a head torch, just in case, as daylight hours in January are significantly shorter.
Please ensure you are fully booted and equipped, ready to start walking by 9:00 am. We will begin promptly at 9:00 am sharp.
There will be a walk briefing at 8:57 am. Please note: the walk leader will not wait for late arrivals.
Please bring plenty of food and water.
Dogs are not permitted on this walk.
Free Parking at Birchin Clough on the A57. Parking is free but it can get busy.
