Britain's What's On Event Guide
Kinder Scout Challenge 01/03/2025
We meet at the Edale Car Park (W3W kitchen.complains.shelving) between 07.45 and 08.00 After a quick safety briefing we begin our walk. The walk is approximately 24 km (15 miles) long, and follows both footpaths and wet open moorland. There are some uneven and rocky sections, and the very nature of the event means there will be a steep climb and descent on and off the plateau.
Our pace will be relaxed!
Guiding is in a small group of no more than 10 people by an experienced local guide.
Please note, this is a challenging route and requires a reasonable standard of fitness.
The walk concludes back at Edale at approximately 17.00 with the opportunity for a debrief over drinks and food as a gesture of economic support to the local community.
What’s Included
?? Other – Our route can be extremely exposed to the weather, with limited opportunity for shelter. Your guide will be carrying additional safety and medical items as well as additional insulation and weather protection. However please pay attention to the kit list provided and bring enough clothing to be warm and dry should the weather turn a little ‘Northern!’
