A glimpse of this fine ridge walk, clearly seen here. At 517 metres high there are fine views as well as good walking. An hour or so before I took this, the ridge was completely covered in cloud. The summit of Mam Tor is just behind me here. “Mam Tor is the main link between the eastern end of Rushup Edge and the western end of the Great Ridge, making this one of the most-loved ridge walks in the Peak District National Park. On a clear day, you can even see Manchester! Mam Tor is also referred to as the ‘Shivering Mountain’ because of its propensity for landslips caused by unstable lower levels of shale.” Full screen essential. Enjoy the day.

We are in fact not going up and along that edge, rather we are hiking in the opposite direction (to my back) up to the summit of Mam Tor. However Rushup edge looks like a great walk too but for us today, a little too steep –maybe another time. The path to the summit known as Lord’s Seat is the highest point on Rushup Edge, part of the ridge that extends to Lose Hill. The hill reaches a height of 550m and is also the highest point on the ridge as a whole. Enjoy the day.

A few days in the Peak District of Derbyshire allows me to spy some new landscapes. This taken just at the edge of the village of Castleton. Enjoy full screen. ~ Just realised that this would have made a nice entry into the HWW group (˚◡˚)
