Full description: 

Join us for a beautiful walk from the top of Snake Pass, crossing the moorlands to the summit of Bleaklow where we will find the well-known B29 Overexposed Plane Crash site, before finishing with a return along the Pennine Way. We will find a nice spot halfway for lunch.

Some of this route can be a little challenging with unclear paths across the moorland. Often, if the weather is wet, it can be quite boggy, so be sure to come well-equipped, although at this time of year we should be fine.

Public transport or car sharing options: 

Unfortunately, for this walk, there is no reliable public transport, so we will have to rely on car-sharing. If you are able to offer lifts out to people, please leave a comment on the Meetup event.

Parking at the Snake Pass Summit is pretty much just a layby and can get quite busy, so make sure to arrive in good time.
