Longer description: Edale to Hathersage linear. Meet Hathersage station for 9:32 train to Edale. Graded B+ in our printed programme, meaning it is hillier or longer than usual for this grade of walk.
We catch the train to Edale to then walk back to Hathersage.
From Edale station we walk through the village and then follow Grinds Brook up onto the plateau of Kinder Scout. We follow the edge of the plateau eastwards, passing Ringing Roger and Crookstone Out Moor. We then come off the plateau, passing Crookstone Hill, Hope Cross and Wooler Knoll, and make our way to the summit of Win Hill. We then descend past Thornhill and make our way to the River Derwent, which we follow all the way to Hathersage.

General Note
Most walks listed here are intended primarily for Ramblers' Association members. Non-members are welcome to join us as guests on two or three walks, though if you walk with a group regularly you will be expected to join the Ramblers.
Please make sure that you are fit enough to undertake the walk you intend to join. If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first: it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted.
Most Ramblers' walks are off-road in rural areas. Please have suitable footwear and clothing for the walk you intend to join, and bring some food and drink, even if the walk includes a pub or café break. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. When in doubt, contact the organisers or the walk leader in advance.
For your own and others' safety please read and abide by any advice and guidelines issued by the organisers, and the instructions of the walk leader. Though walking is inherently one of the safest outdoor activities, no activity is completely without risk and it is your responsibility to behave sensibly and to minimise the potential for accidents to occur.
