Recommended: The walk around the Kinder Plateau is spectacular; fine views; another deservedly popular viewpoint. A direct high-level moorland route with a lot of ups and downs, paths across rock, stone and peat, a couple of steep sections. The Kinder Plateau is rocky but the rock is easy to walk on; some badly eroded and potentially wet ground higher up. Reaches 636m and the highest point on the network. Follows the Pennine Way around Kinder Scout. No facilities en route. Paths from Mill Hill to Edale are very popular and busy.

Lunch: No facilities en route.

1 end-of-walk reward: the Ramblers Inn

Warnings: Several steep and potentially slippery sections when wet, badly eroded paths, and exposed high moorland where some descent paths are little used and easy to lose in poor visibility.

Walk details: Slow Ways.
