The Great Ridge

Distance: 10km (6.21 Miles)
Ascent: 421m (1381ft)
Duration: 2 Hours 48 Minutes

My final day in the Peak District again and I decided to walk The Great Ridge from Mam Tor to Lose Hill from Castleton. This is one of my favourite walks in the Peaks and clearly many others too as it was very busy!

At the valley floor looking to Mam Tor which is my first peak.
