To complete this walk it is essential that you have a good degree of mountain fitness. There are steep climbs and big ascents to complete each day. You will also be carrying all your equipment for 5 days; therefore, your pack will be heavier, food and packed lunches etc can be obtained each day. All days involve terrain that is rough, craggy, and very steep in places. It may be boggy in other places. Only very easy scrambling will be encountered. Previous mountain experience or experience walking with us in the Peak District is essential.

Should weather conditions be unsuitable to be up in the mountains, an alternative lower-level walk will be used to reach each day's destination.

The cost to join this guided 6-day walk is £180 per person. Please book and pay below.
