As part of our Autumn Program Hilton Scouts have organised a weekend hill walking trip to Edale.
The trip will take place on Saturday 5th October 2024. We will be meeting in Edale Carpark at 10:45am ready to start walking at 11:00am prompt.
Our walk will take us to the summits of Hollins Cross, Lose Hill and Winhill Pike before returning down the valley to Edale Carpark.
The route will take place in Zone 0 terrain, meaning our route will:
• Be below 500 metres above sea level; and
• Be within 30 minutes travelling time from a road which can take an ordinary road-going ambulance or a building which is occupied (such as a farm) or another means of summoning help (such as a telephone box); and
• have no steep slopes or rocky terrain, where a slip may result in a fall.
or:
• be a road, or path adjacent to a road, on which you would expect to see traffic.
The walk will be approximately 16km and we expect to be back at Edale Carpark at around 4:30pm.
Parents and well-behaved dogs are welcome to join us.

Clothing (Worn):
