Stanage Edge September 2013

Derbyshire hills in late summer. An afternoon in the dark peak.
Here is the start point. Looking at what will be the last hill on our walk, Higgor Tor.

A downhill through Bolehill wood to start off

Across meadows to Hathersage village

After a late lunch on the cricket pavillion steps we went uphill, through St Michaels churchyard. Across more field on the upper side of Cowclose farm. Onward past a house made famous by Charlotte Bronte then up through the bracken beneath Stanage edge itself.
Up on the edge

We turned left as far as Crow chin

The view back from near Crow Chin

Retracing our steps and beyond to the trig point in the far distance of the above photo.

Then returning to the car via Higger Tor. We arrived back with about 20 minutes of useable light left in the sky.
