Full description: 

Starting in the same place as a recent walk I lead but heading in completely the opposite direction. Please note there is a fair amount of ascent on this walk. We begin at Castleton Visitor Centre and head up Hollins Cross, before descending into Edale. There is a cafe in Edale where we can stop for coffee, tea, cake, ice cream etc. We then head over Back Tor and Lose Hill, before making our way down into Hope. Then it’s plain sailing back into Castleton.
