Kinder Scout wander



View up Grindsbrook from Ringing Rodger with Grindslow Knoll (601m/1971ft) on the left, Peakland's 4th highest hill, and the slopes of Kinder on the right.

Having planned to climb Kinder (the highest of Peakland's 3 mountains) from Edale the other week, only have plans go tits-up at the last minute, I decided to get the bus out and climb it from Ladybower.
Despite having a hell of a lot of ascent and descent the day turned out rather good, having a superb bog-trot over Kinder's eastern plateau. Though just below 2000ft, it provided a grand bog trot with stunning views in all directions, only encountering crowds above Grindsbrook. Finished the day with seeing a fantastic sunset over the Great Ridge and a spooky walk through Lockerbrook Woods in the dark.
