Portman Recruitment is very proud to announce it will be hosting a Charity Hike to raise money for a chosen children’s charity. This will become an annual event where people get together from the social work world and beyond. This will be a great chance to meet new people in the great outdoors. Official Countdown to the beginning of Portman Peaks:
May 20th 2023 Walk Starts 9am
Kinder Scout from Edale walk (circular, 12.7km)
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.
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
On the walk itself, there are no facilities

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.
The Hope Valley Train Line between Sheffield and Manchester stops at Edale.
Allow a good 4-6 hours to do this walk
634 meters
Not pram or wheelchair friendly at all. Steep rocky sections. You need to be sturdy on your feet.
Only attempt this hike with young kids if they are used to hiking.
You must be a UK resident with relevant experience in the UK Social Care sector to apply.
