EDALE: A STUDY OF A PENNINE DALE.1 By C. B. FAWCETT, B.Litt., M.Sc. (With Sketch-Map and Figures.) THE dale marked on the large-scale maps of the High Peak District as the "Vale of Edale" is the high-lying valley along the south- eastern side of the Peak. From the heights above Dalehead to Edale End the valley stretches for nearly five miles in a line from west-south- west to east-north-east. In its widest parts the breadth from crest to crest reaches three miles ; but most of this is moorland, and the width of the habitable portion nowhere exceeds one mile, and averages little more than half that distance. The total area of the civil parish of Edale is eleven square miles, of which the greater part is uncultivated and uninhabited moorland.

Our Edale Meeting Point, Peak District Don’t leave home without these instructions Please use the following details to arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to your course start time to enable us to make a prompt start. While the course is held in a rural location the nearby cities of Manchester and Sheffield, and the surrounding motorways can cause significant traffic congestion at times so please allow plenty of time for your journey. Setting Our navigation course takes place within the stunning Peak District National Park and we use the Kinder Scout area as our training ground. Set in the beautiful hills of Derbyshire there is no better venue to learn Navigation. Our starting point is a short walk from the centre of Edale village. Participants have the option of booking into one of many local B&B’s or joining the instructors at Coopers camping and caravan site. Running late? If you are delayed at all please contact us at the earliest possible moment on 07843064114 so we can try and plan logistically to get an instructor back to the meeting point.

For the moorland lover based on Man chester, the only part of the Pennine worth serious consideration begins at a point 6 miles SSW of Skipton on the crest of the Colne-Keighley road, or, as easier of access, at Colne itself, and after a crow's flight of 37 miles roughly SSE ends at the foot of the steep slopes of Kinder Scout a mile N of Edale. We can also include the moors which towards the end of that range extend E and SE to nurse the infant Derwent as far as Ladybower on the main road from Glossop to Sheffield. For about the first 28 miles of that Colne to Edale flight the moors are of the conventional type. Their surface consists mainly of coarse grass with bil berry and heather in various states of roughness, culminating in the robust tussocks known as Scotchmen's heads, or (more politely) Turks' heads, which when spaced apart at a critical distance slightly less than a boot's width, thereby tending to twist the boot when inserted between them, constitute the worst going in the Kingdom apart from the rock-and-heather mixture of the Rhinogs of North Wales.
