GoGo_dancer Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Me and a friend really need to get some hill walking in before winter closes in as we're doing the Y3P again in April We're putting the long distance miles in seperately as we're at opposite ends of Sheffield so when we walk together we try and make it short & steep as my friend has to arrange childcare. Ideally we don't want to be walking for more than 3.5 hours, so we're looking for something nearby but with a really good hill. We did Mam Tor early December and we had a good slog up Derwent Edge a few weeks back so we're trying to arrange the next get-together at the moment. Any suggestions?

harestone Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Climb Win hill, drop down to Hope via Twitchhill farm then up Lose hill, there's no climb like the one up Lose hill, it's knackering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoGo_dancer Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 3.5 hours thats not a walk.you could do that around the asda Well it's the best we can do with busy workloads and family commitments. Still better than sitting on our backsides like most people do! Anywho, she's managed to free up some extra time and we're going to do Kinder Scout first weekend in Feb (weather permitting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 If you can get yourselves up to the lake district then Helm Crag, just outside Grasmere, is exactly what you're after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harestone Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Do you have the experience and kit to tackle Kinder in winter. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo_dancer Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 I do, but my friend is a bit of a newbie so if it's looking dodgy we won't even attempt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I do, but my friend is a bit of a newbie so if it's looking dodgy we won't even attempt it. I will guide you guys up there if you want The best sharp short walk you could do is, climb up Win Hill from Yorkshire Bridge... if that doesn't take your breath, nothing will.
