There's many routes up onto Kinder Scout, but this less popular route from the Snake Pass is less used, but equally awesome as the others., We will encounter mini waterfalls, Fairbrook Naze, gritstone rock formations along the Northern Edge and fabulous views over Ashop moor.
Walk start point is where the old Snake Pass Inn was situated, (No longer open but still is marked on OS map.) Nearest postcode, S33 0BJ.
Unfortunately no parking at the old pub, but there's free parking at the numerous laybys on the side of the road between 3/5 cars in each. Please car share whenever possible.
Kinder Scout has it's own climate when it comes to the weather, and now we're heading towards the end of November please wrap up and bring the right gear,
Terrain on Kinder is also undulating uneven paths with undefined sections of gritstone and peatland so please be aware of this when walking over Kinder Scout.

This a a guide to what we do and what we expect from our members.
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. A full and concise descriptions of the terrain will be published in the event write up stating what to expect on the walk, terrain using the best of our knowledge. Also to give our members an insight of what to bring such as walking poles, crampons and wet weather gear.
