Comments on: Kinder in the Rain http://www.sterling-adventures.co.uk/blog/2009/11/02/kinder-in-the-rain/ The latest reports of world wide rock & ice climbing (and other extreme) fun and adventure!

One last year was from Bakewell and took in Great Longstone, Coombs Dale near Stoney Middleton and Monsal Head. I'd visited several of those before, but never realised how close together they were (actually, I had no idea where Monsal Head was at all). It was a lovely run around and a new perspective on a bit of Derbyshire. The second one of these is on Dec 6th around Hayfield, on the Stockport side of Kinder. The third is on Jan 17th, at a location to be determined. Of course, if I lived in the Lake District, I'm not sure three hours of running/walking around the Dark Peak would tempt me away either! :smile: Think of it as a three hour exploration of a perhaps less-visited bit of the Peak District.

It's almost enough to tempt me.... I think. Good grief, only 3 hours! It’s almost enough to tempt me…. I think.

If I can run all the way up the hill from the top of Jacob's ladder to Kinder Low with the wind behind me making it feel like I was running downhill, that must be an advantage.
