Edale Skyline Challenge, Peak District

Join us on Friday 15th August 2025 for an epic day tackling one of the Peak District’s most iconic and challenging walks—the mighty Edale Skyline.

This legendary loop walk circles the valley of Edale, traversing dramatic ridges, summits, and edges along the way. Covering 32 km (20 miles) with over 1,200m of elevation gain, it’s a true bucket-list challenge for keen hillwalkers and a fantastic introduction to long-distance walking in one of England’s most beautiful National Parks. Expect big climbs, airy ridges, rolling moorland, and panoramic views that will stop you in your tracks—plus a real sense of achievement by the day’s end!

We’ll move at a steady but supportive pace with plenty of breaks to fuel up, take in the views, and enjoy this spectacular landscape together. Bring your hillwalking legs, snacks, and a big smile—you’re going to need all three.
