Peak District Walk - Kinder Scout - Crowden Clough, Kinder Gates & The Downfall

This weeks wander sees me head up one of the more strenuous routes up on to Kinder Scout, the Crowden Clough Scramble. It's a really excellent way to get yourself up on to the plateau and has some interesting technical bits which make it very fun indeed. I had planned to meet my friend Tim at Crowden Tower so my scramble up Crowden was done at top speed. We then headed for the centre of the plateau through Kinder Gates over towards the Downfall. After that we headed to the northern edge via Sandy Heys and then along to Fairbrook Naze. We then made our way over the plateau once again to the Official Summit, Pym Chair, The Woolpacks, before finally heading back down Crowden to the car at Barber Booth. It was a really great day out and a mini tour of some of the highlights Kinder Scout has to offer.
