Kinder Scout

The following day we walked up to kinder scout. This walk went higher and for longer but the climb for the majority was more gradual. This time my legs eased up after abou 45 mins! We chose the route that followed the river. For someone as accident prone as me this meant about 4 falls and one nearly in the river! The last bit of this climb was REALLY steep. I had to do this on hands and knees with images of me falling down the mountain (in my head at this stage it was a mountain!) and being rescued by mountain rescue!! The view from the top was stunning though and worth the climb.

We then continued with the stunning views by walking along the pennine way. Eventually the pub was calling so we followed the path downwards. Well we followed the path for 20 yards before Damian convinced us to follow a path that was "on the map!". This really wasn't a path but weary limbs made it to the pub and again that was a well received pint!!!
