The Route
Starting from Bowden Quarry, just outside Hayfield, the route follows the path of the famous Mass Trespass and onto Kinder Scout. The initial ascent up the rocky bed of William Clough steepens as we emerge onto the Pennine Way and climb up onto the Kinder Plateau at over 600m/2000ft. Then it's a steep descent from Plateau's edge at Sandy Heys back down to Kinder Reservoir and across the valley. Another sharp ascent brings us up onto the remote but beautiful Kinder Low End and up to our summit of the day, Kinder Low, at 633 metres/2076 feet. It's back down to the valley before we climb again up onto the edge of Mountain Famine - a fantastic vantage point to look back at the Kinder Plateau and our day's achievement before we descend the gentler Pennine Bridleway, cooling down as we head back to Bowdon Quarry!
