Walk Details
Stanage circular.
Group: Stockport
Date: Sunday 28 June 2009
Start gridref: SK227844
Start time: 11am
Grade: Leisurely
Distance: 9 miles
Longer description: Start from Stanage Edge CP. SK227844. 8½ miles. Dogs if on lead. Graded C+ in our programme, meaning it is hillier than usuall for this grade of walk. No dogs due to access arrangements.
From the start at Dennis Knoll we walk up past the Buck Stone before turning onto the path below Stanage Edge heading out over Moscar Moor towards Stanage End. We climb up easily onto the Edge for the main section of the walk passing High Neb overlooking the path we had previously used. Provided the weather is fine there are extensive views over to Win Hill and Bamford Edge as we carry on along the edge passing Long Causeway and Stanage Plantation before descending at Hookcar Stitch. The walk then explores some of the paths to the north of Hathersage going via Overstones Farm, Toothill Farm and Camp Green before turning to head back to the start past Bronte Cottage. We will cover just over 8 miles of fairly easy walking.

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.
