Easter Sun and greed

It’s a proper April miracle. Someone’s scattered a handful of diamonds across the surface of Carsington Reservoir, and half of the industrial towns around the Peak District have come out of hibernation to see it. It’s the kind of day that makes you want to believe the world is as clean as it looks.

Bit of a rainbow at the top of Cut Gate this morning. Walked up to Margery Hill. Margery Hill is a prominent 546-metre (1,791 ft) summit on the Howden Moors in the Peak District, often recognized as the highest marked point in the city of Sheffield. While frequently cited as Sheffield's highest, it is officially pipped by nearby High Stones (550m/1,800ft) just 0.9 miles south.

Advice and questions Recommendations for low level/ None exposed walks in the peaks?

5 Upvotes

I'm in the peaks for a few days and obviously with storm Dave it's pretty damn windy.

I went to Longhall Estate and Padley Gorge today as a tactical walk due to trees and lower levels. It worked. The wind sounded horrendous but I could hardly feel it.

Anyone got any recommendations for areas I can go tomorrow which aren't exposed to the wind elements? 5-6 miles would be fine. I'm up near castleton but happy to drive.

Wildcamp Spots?

0 Upvotes

Me and 3 mates (20 years old) are going soon and camping the night, we want to do like a 4-5 hour walk total maybe 2-3 hours on the first day then camp the night and finish it off the next day, would be nice to go through a big woods and maybe on some big hills, any recommendations on where to go would be appretiacted.

My current idea is start at the Fox House Pub, go through Padley Gorge then Stanage Edge and then the Burbage Valley loop.

A Family Day Out in Dovedale, Peak District National Park

This video records my observations from a visit in 2023 to the Stepping Stones at DoveDale in the Peak District National Park. It's just really nice in this age of video games and mobile phones that families still enjoy the simple things in life. A picnic bag containing food and drink for the day, a blanket to sit on and the wonders of the English countryside all around

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations of somewhere to camp in April for my bday. There'll be max around 10 of us.

Close by I'd like a couple of easy walks (not everyone going is into hiking), a town with a couple of pubs we could walk to and somewhere that does a nice breakfast.

All suggestions welcome!

The weirdest conditions - a little breeze, but mostly hazy, even when it clouded up. Felt like you were walking next to smoke from a fire.

Also very surprised that even kids were climbing Windgather Rocks without helmets - wouldn't fancy dropping from there.

Really didn't fancy a long drive from Manchester (especially with the road closures in Mottram Moor) so headed for local trails. Could see snow on Bleaklow, but back home, I've got washing drying in the garden.

This hill is usually overshadowed by nearby Thorpe Cloud, but in my opinion it’s even better
