It's a lovely walk. You can do an 11 mile circuit starting and finishing in Edale in a day. A fair bit of up and down though, so you deserve the pint at the end.WOW! :O
Added to my list of must visit at some point.

We've tried to organise a walk for ages but it never gets off the ground! But I'd be up for it - knees permitting. I've not done a proper walk for a few years because of dodgy skeleton, so might need to put mountain rescue on speed dial.Sounds perfect to me!

You could do Castleton to Edale through Winnats Pass and over Mam Tor. It's much better if it's blowing a gale as Winnats Pass acts like a wind tunnel making walking up it incredibly difficult.I'll stick to the 3mile ' easy' route
Thanks for those, guess where we are aiming to be next weekend
Guess who didn't manage a ridge stroll this weekend, had to change a burst radiator on Saturday morning, then decided to put the tree and stuff up.
Worked yesterday
Will try again between Christmas and the New Year.

Actually, Peel Crags appears to be part of Hadrians Wall, so is likely to be part of the Great Whin Sill. The Whin Sill is an incredibly mundane rock as it underpins around 1,500 square miles of the North East, so your naysayers would be wrong.
Admittedly, it is a beautiful example of a very hard dolerite, but that's by the by.

Yep, the wall goes straight over the top. There was quite a gale blowing up there, so I didn't hang about too long

I think I've only been to the wall once, on a school fieldtrip to Hexham back in the 80s. It was summer I think, so OK ish weather.
Vindolanda and Houseteads were the places we went to, if memory serves. I thought they were boring at the time.

You probably passed here then. Vindolanda is about half a mile behind the wall here and Housesteads is a couples of miles further east.I think I've only been to the wall once, on a school fieldtrip to Hexham back in the 80s. It was summer I think, so OK ish weather.

Possibly - oddly, I have no memory of the surrounding area but remember quite clearly one of the Roman forts for some reason, and walking around and sitting down on some wall bored out of my mind. I would have been 14/15 at the time which would explain that attitude

maybe not stunning like the other stuff, but the meadowell ( ridges) section is a snapshot of the thatcher years and the riots.

Emley Moor gets struck quite often, even without a storm, this is from 2 nights ago (Not my photo but another member's from the 'Emley Moor tower mast appreciation society)
This was taken (not by me) during the storm the other day. Sheffield:

Tonight's sunset. I think I missed the best of it earlier on though.

That's the kind of vibrant colour & glorious sunshine that can only mean they've finally dropped The Bomb, and not before time.
