On the long steady Foulstone Road path up to Derwent Edge


Looking back along the path to Bradfield Dale


To the south is Stanard Edge


Approaching Derwent Edge , the ridge path is clearly visible with the Cakes of Bread to the left


Close up of the Lose Hill - Mam Tor ridge over in the Vale of Edale


Ahead in the distance is Kinder Scout


The rocky Back Tor summit


The bizzare shaped rocks at the summit


View north along the ridge to Featherbed Moss & the Howden Moors


Close up of Strines Reservoir & the Sugworth Tower


The path ahead to Broomfield Moor in the distance


Conditions on the path are far from ideal due to the recent heavy rainfall


A particularly boggy section


Looking back to Back Tor with Lost Lad to the right


View across to the Howden Moors


Another wet section , the wooden post is one of many indicating the route across this barren terrain


The route back to Bradfield Dale descends by Hobson Moss in the distance


View along Hurkling Edge


Looking back towards Hobson Moss with Back Tor just visible to the left


And panning left is Agden leading to Bradfield Dale


On Agden side with a distant view of Hurkling Edge previously passed


Passing Agden Reservoir on the way back to Low Bradfield
