The plan was to travel up to the Youth Hostel in Edale today, leave the car, then continue by train to Kirk Yetholm tomorrow. I had quite an easy drive up, despite a bad accident on the M1 which held things up for a while, and some lunatic driving as ever. . I reached the Youth Hostel by about 2.30PM after stopping en route for something (mediocre) to eat at the Cheshire Cheese inn at Hope.
It was a lovely day, sunny and mild, and still plenty of time so off I went up to the Kinder Plateau, easily reached up the valley behind the hostel. In 45 minutes or so I was up top, surveying the scene. I took a couple of video shots of the view and hopefully
this link will show you one of them. There are a couple of photos too.. this is a really scenic part of the world. It's my third visit to Edale this year and I could spend another week here very easily.
I have a lovely en suite room all too myself here so all in all this has been an encouraging start to this adventure.
