Summary
Well this was an absolute gem even if the first half was spent in the rain cursing because my iPhone Lifeproof cover is past its sell by date. A great looped route taking in a beautiful line of shark fin type rocky tops with some half decent scrambles. Even on a weather day like today the views were stunning. If this had been a good weather day this would have been my favourite route that I have done in the Peak District this last two weeks. I would love to do this on a clear winter or summer day just to do the scenery justice with some ace shots. A 13.5km 630m wet and slippy bimble in 4 hours
