About This Event

The hiking and scramble-climbing event will take place in the Tors of Hope Valley-East, starting at Burbage North car park. Participants will follow a route that includes Higger Tor, Carl's Wark, and other notable landmarks in the area. The event is expected to last around five hours.

Route:-Higger Tor, Carl's Wark, Over Owler Tor, Mother cap, Millstone Edge, Owler Tor, Longshaw estate woods, Burbage South, Burbage North back to the car park. Meet at: Burbage North car park. This carpark, like most in the Peak District now, is not free, it's about £6-60 for our day if I remember, specifically for 4-6 hours I think it says. We're going to be about 5 hours I'd say anyway, possibly less!, and I think it's either contactless or phone payment. I find phone payment ridiculously annoying but probably not the worst, that's contactless payment, but we know how lazy the system is for good old coins. HOWEVER, if you can manage to get there early, there's free roadside parking by the small bridge and two more free areas just around the corner (coming from Sheffield), on The Dale (South of Stanage Edge) and just North of Higger Tor. Once we're all happy and parked at these three close proximity places, we can simply meet each other at the Higger Tor parking. For those of you having not been around here before, this is a very interesting and fun, hike and climbing route. You may not be familiar with the area, however our regular attendees know this like riding a bike/driving a car, so if you're new to our group, you're in the best of safest hands. I'd usually put a description of what do expect on the route, it's absolutely fine, just ask any questions you have. Approx distance for this is 5.5miles/8.8km. Doesn't even look this long at all, but stretch it out, and it can. with a height gain of roughly 50 metres max. This meet is about 50/50 hiking and scramble - climbing. Don't be put off by me having called it scramble-climbing, I came up with this effectively climbing up a scramble, (WE ARE NOT DOING ANY ACTUAL TRAD CLIMBING, as this isn't a climbing meet) but it's always fun to do what you want to and dabble SAFELY on the rocks, (including our now famous weaseling), **invented by member 'Dani', and our most notable weasels being either Michael or David Glos
