The Edale Skyline is feast of glorious views, remote high moorland and gritstone edges.
On this shorter Winter Version we cover 25km of the Skyline with the aim of maximising your enjoyment of the daylight hours
and being back at the car park before dark (or slightly afterwards).
We'll walk along quieter routes on the Kinder Plateau, to the iconic Win Hill Pike, then along the Great Ridge to Mam Tor iron age hill fort.
This is a full day walk, so we include our usual Ranger Expedition hospitality, with a lunch stop, hot drinks and water top-up.
We guide at a steady pace in small groups so you're never lost in the crowd. And our extra on-route support and water top up means you can enjoy your walk with a much lighter daypack. Your guides for the day are experienced local professional Mountain and Moorland Leaders.
