Hiking

A brilliant Grade 1 scramble up onto Kinder Scout at Blackden Edge and the Seal Stones, with lots of waterfalls to enjoy along the way. Care should be taken when the rocks are wet as they are slippery in places.

Hiking

This is a cracking scramble up to the Kinder plateau. It's a lovely brook-side path with big boulders to climb over and some beautiful waterfalls along the way. In dry conditions it will present no troubles. After heavy rainfall or when frozen, it's very sketchy in places. Not to be underestimated in unfavourable conditions.

Echo Jo, the rocks can be a bit slippery but it’s an easy enough scramble. I'd be hesitant after heavy rainfall though.
