Walk lead by John Gobin, 8.4 Miles 2200ft Ascent.
The first mile is a gentle climb heading north out of Castleton which leads to a steeper rather muddy ascent of 700ft up to the top of Lose hill with spectacular views over Hope Valley.
We then walk along the Great Ridge towards the top of Mam Tor with more beautiful views.
From there we will descend the south side of Mam Tor where hopefully we can have lunch.
Following refreshments we will descend a little further, cross a road and from there follow a gentle muddy ascent to the east of Slitherstone Hill and onto some farm tracks. As we start to drop back down to Castleton there is another quite muddy path down to a track/stream leading to Cave Dale and then onto the lanes of Castleton.
Good waterproof boots, gaiters and walking poles are advisable.
