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

Date of Event

  • May 20th 2023

Meeting Point

  • Meeting from 8.30 am
  • Walk starts at 9 am
  • Bowden Bridge Car Park S33 7ZQ
  • The pay machine takes cards and parking all-day is £4.75 

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.

How long does it take?

Allow a good 4-6 hours to do this walk

Total Ascent

634 meters

Accessibility

Not pram or wheelchair friendly at all. Steep rocky sections. You need to be sturdy on your feet.

Children

Only attempt this hike with young kids if they are used to hiking.
