Millstone Edge / Hathersage Moor
Date walked: 08/09/2012
Time taken: 3 hours
Distance: 8.7km
Ascent: 225m
As the weather forecast was for an excellent day we decided a day in the Peak District was in order, destination the area just north of Grindleford.
After parking the car at the road side, we set off through the gate and down and over the footbridge taking the track up through the heather which very quickly brings you to the A6187. Cross over and head west through the carpark towards the viewpoint looking towards Hathersage.
Continue northwards along the top of Millstone Edge
Continue along the track through the heather to a sheep fold SK253816, at this point head towards Higger Tor
Pick your own line to the top, making it as easy or as difficult as you want
After a brief lunch admiring the views, we continued north towards Upper Burbage Bridge which Vicky duly posed under
From here there is a choice of routes back along the top of the rock or the bottom. We chose the bottom route allowing us to watch the climbers as we went along
A few more view shots -
Continue along the track across the main road and follow the steam back to the bridge to the start of the walk where it was considerably busier than when we started! But the ice cream van parked where we started was a welcome sight on a very hot day.
