Kinder Scout Three Trig Point Walk

This high level walk starts in lovely vale of Edale and bags the three Trigs of Kinder Scout. It's a 13 mile tough walk which we will be crossing the plateau twice, with care!

As we leave Edale we will be heading up onto Ringing Roger, a steep climb up The Nab we will encounter rewarding views of Rushup Edge and along the skyline over to Mam Tor and beyond.

After leaving Ringing Roger we will then be hitting our first Trig Point on Edale Moor of which we will be on a good path most of the way. We will be doing our first crossing of the plateau towards the Northern Edges to bag our second Trig, before crossing again to The Edge. Our route will then take us to Kinder Downfall, just before passing Kinder Low Trig Point. Our descent we head back down to Edale via Jacobs Ladder.

A good level of fitness is needed on this walk as well as suitable footwear. The terrain on Kinder Scout can be boggy over the plateau, so please be mindful of this and make sure you watch where you put your feet.! Paths can be uneven in places. We will be walking at steady/moderate pace, but I will be making sure we keep together as a group at all times.

The start time is 10am, we will give 15 minutes for latecomers, but will leave at 10.15am on the dot. Please bear in mind there isn't any signal in Edale, so if for any reason your're unable to attend this walk please be courteous and change your RSVP to no. The finish time, 16.30 is only a guide. Depending on the day and the group the end time may differ, so if you have evening plans please be aware of this.

The Disclaimer!

We are a group of like-minded adults who share the same interest, the great outdoors.

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.

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)
