We are the Loughborough & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting from Edale, we walk up the rocky and heather-covered Grindsbrook path onto the Kinder plateau and cross the plateau, following the Kinder River to the impressive Kinder Downfall. Enjoying the views, we follow the edge round to a bronze-age barrow at Kinderlow End, returning to Edale via the scenic Chapel Gate.
This walk is graded strenuous; the ascent of Grindsbrook is steep and rocky, and hands may occasionally be needed for balance. The walk across the plateau may involve crossing small streams and peat groughs. The descent is more gentle and gradual. Boots are essential and trekking poles are recommended.
You may also come across, stiles, gates and other path furniture, hedges, road crossings, muddy/slippery sections, farm livestock & warning signs. You should remain stay alert and take individual responsibility.
Edale is accessible by train. Check the online timetables for any changes due to engineering work.
Please let the leader know if you are coming by car or train.
