Mad Womans stones from Edale

Accumulated ascent of 1,400 feet (426 m)
Descent 1,400 feet (426m)
Just under 9 miles
Difficulty. Moderate/strenuous.

The mad woman' stone's , are a large outcrop of weathered gritstone rock formations on the Kinder Scout plateau. Unfortunately there's no documentation of where the name derives from.
But they're used as a navigational aid whilst out walking on Kinder Scout.

As we leave the village we will be doing the initial climb up the 'Nab' this is quite steep so we will be taking our time making sure we stay together as a group.

Once on top we will be taking a right turn which will lead us to the stones.

Please be mindful that we are walking on different types of terrain. Well defined paths and some that aren't. A walking pole is a good idea, especially when we're heading over rough ground and steep inclines/downward paths.

As is states in the disclaimer, you are responsible for yourself and when you sign up for this walk you are in agreement of it's contents.

Bearing in mind it's a colder month, Kinder Scout has it's own climate so please wear appropriate and warm clothing, waterproofs as well as good boots.

Please read the disclaimer below..

The Disclaimer!
We are a group of like-minded adults who share the same interest, the great outdoors.
Our leaders/event hosts are volunteers, they're there to guide groups on walks in the countryside, they're not responsible for each and every participant other than themselves.
It is expected that all participants to be fully responsible for themselves and their own safety, we do not employ first aiders or qualified walk leaders. Participants are also expected to attend every walk with suitable clothing, footwear and any other equipment, that includes waterproofs for wet weather and walking poles if you need them regularly. Enough food and drink for the day is also required.
Some activities in more mountainous regions such as the Lake District, Wales and Scotland, can be more challenging, our walk leaders will use the principal of the groups safety at all times and if the conditions dramatically change for the worse, they will reserve the right to end the walk and turn back.
If for any reason you are concerned about the potential risks of our activities whilst out with the group you could consider taking out a personal insurance plan, e.g. The BMC (British Mountaineering Council)

If your plans change an you can no longer attend this event please change your RSVPO to NO, so that the group won't be waiting around for you. There's no phone signal in Edale, so bear that in mind.

See on the day!
