9 Edges walk by Elaine

Tough walk but very rewarding, it is a little bit over 35km all told and takes around 10 hours if you want to have a break at the 2/3 point at Longshaw park (great coffee, cakes & icecream) and a much needed water top up point. It also involves 1200m of climb a little bit more than the route description indicates! Our favorite edge was Gardoms Edge with soft evening sunlight slanting through the silver birch.
