Kinder Scout Summit Sponsored Walk 17th September 2016

To raise money and awareness for the newly founded charity Gold September, in memory of Eddy Parry, we have organised a sponsored walk for the children and anyone else who would like to come along.

The walk is to the summit of Kinder Scout, Derbyshire’s highest peak and should take around 5 hours. Kinder Scout is a Moorland Plateau and National Nature Reserve in the Dark Peak of the Derbyshire Peak District in England. Part of the moor, at 636 metres (2,087 ft.) above sea level, is the highest point in the Peak District, the highest point in Derbyshire and the highest point in the whole of the East Midlands.

Meeting on the 17th September at 10:00am ready to set walking at 10:30am the walk will take-in the following sights: Lower Edale, Jacobs Ladder, Punch’s Nose, Noe Stool Stone and finally the summit. From the summit, on a clear day, one can see great views over the surrounding countryside as far as Manchester!

CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT We advise you to bring a good Packed Lunch, plenty of Snacks and plenty to drink. We suggest you wear Walking Boots/Shoes or very sturdy Trainers and a good pair of Walking Socks. In addition, a Waterproof Jacket & Trousers if you have them, Warm Tops for the summit along with gloves & a hat as the summit can be very windy and cold even in summer, all carried in a Rucksack.

This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy some of the best countryside Derbyshire has to offer. I am an experienced Walker & Climber and I regularly do this walk with my 7-year-old son Finley. He has been doing it since he was 5 years old! It is easily achievable by most folks and extremely satisfying too complete. You will not need any maps or compass and everyone will complete the walk together. I hope to see you there for a nice day out “On the Hill” and raising money and awareness for this great new charity.

IMPORTANT - ALL CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A RESPONSIBLE FAMILY MEMBER
