Bamford & Stanage Edge

Distance: 9.73km (6.04 Miles)
Ascent: 261m (856ft)
Duration: 3 Hours 12 Minutes

This superb walk takes in two grand Edges of the Peak District, beginning with Bamford Edge and its spectacular views to Ladybower Reservoir. After crossing the moor I headed up Stanage Edge and followed part of this to High Neb.

All is sunny in the Peak District and this view is only a few minutes into the walk.

Gargoyle Flake, a famous climb on Bamford Edge that has to be one of the most photogenic. A few days after this walk I returned here and climbed it (see photo below).
