Portman Charity Walk
May 20th 2023 Walk Starts 9am
Kinder Scout from Edale walk (circular, 12.7km)
Clothing
The British weather is unpredictable at best, so always plan for the worst when deciding what kit to take. Always better to have extra clothing in your rucksack.
- Waterproof jacket
- Fleece
- Gloves
- Hat
- Rucksack
- Walking boots
Food
The hike will include a picnic-style lunch stop where you’ll need to bring your own food
Energy food such as snack bars and sweets always go down well
Note that although there may be pub stops, it is unlikely that there will be time to eat at pubs, as the pubs may be very busy, or there may be a large group walk in
Drink
- Drinks to keep you hydrated for the hike (2-3 litres)
- Flask tea/coffee always a good shout
- Refreshments will be provided by Portman at the finish line
Facilities
- Public toilets at Edale car park
- Two pubs in Edale (The Old Nag’s Head and The Ramblers)
- Café (Newfold Farm Cafe)
On the walk itself, there are no facilities

Meeting Point
- Meeting from 8.30 am

Please avoid wearing trainers as they won’t keep your feet dry (think long wet grass, boggy moorland, streams, and muddy fields) and they offer very little ankle support on rough paths (mountain walks especially), making twisting an ankle far easier.
Public Transport
The Hope Valley Train Line between Sheffield and Manchester stops at Edale.

Allow a good 4-6 hours to do this walk
Total Ascent
634 meters
