Peak District - Dragons Back
Details
Tackling the Peak District Dragons Back (Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill).
Starting from the centre of Longnor (meet outside of the Moreland Café), the route heads towards Hollingsclough (fantastic cakes!) where we’ll head up Hollins Hill to quickly warm up before tackling Chrome Hill, the first sleeping dragon! Following the steep descent, there is a scramble up the second dragon - Parkhouse Hill and a stroll to Earl Sterndale before return to Longnor with its choice of pubs!
Both Chrome Hill and Parkhouse hill have steep ascents and descents, with a small amount of low-grade scrambling required.
The route is 14 km and will take about 5 hours, plus any breaks.
