Stanage Edge

Distance: 26.2km (16.27 Miles)
Ascent: 1056m (3465ft)
Duration: 6 Hours 35 Minutes

Another long day planned as well today but no hidden extras! I did actually ascend more than stated because as I was walking down Stanage Edge I came well equipped (climbing shoes and chalk) and soloed 6 short easy routes along the way.

Sunlit Bamford Edge from the old railway line I walked yesterday. It was either walk this route again or along the main road so I opted for this.
