KINDER DOWNFALL AND EDGE

[susanmyatt]

A cool dry morning as we set off for the Peaks, our target was Kinder Downfall

We parked near Barber Booth and set off at 10am towards Upper Booth and the walk up the waterfall of Crowden Clough

The way up the waterfall

We were soon amongst the rocks and boulders

Tippy toes

Not easy going as we push the big rocks aside

Heave ho!

Way ahead again

Keep going

Keep smiling

It was steeper than the photo's show but thankfully dry

Nick follows us up

Brian tries to look cool

I have done lots of climbing and scrambling with the gang but always very wary

Steady as you go

We reached the top of the waterfall and reached the peat boggy area

Ready for the bogs

After crossing this area we reached Kinder Gates

Not much further on we reached Kinder Downfall and some superb views

Wow

We then followed the Pennine Way until we reached Kinder Low at 633m

Continuing down southwards we reached a very, very boggy Brown Knoll

We then reached the last post before descending and making our way back to the car

Last post, no bugles

A classic walk in good conditions, thanks for looking, Sue

Were you up there this weekend, Sue?

I was on the other side of Kinder doing the Mam Tor ridge and Edale to Win Hill. If you were out on Sunday I missed you by just a few hundred yards!

That looks a cracking good walk with a little bit of everything

[susanmyatt]

Yes Derek, we were there sunday, a cracking day, it would have been nice to meet you, perhaps next time
