January 22, 2022,Cave Dale – Collapsed Road Loop from Edale

Walked around this area a few times. Don’t let the gorgeous blue sky fool you! It was cold windy especially at the top of Mam Tor! Pretty flat walk apart from that. Parking was fine arrived around 10am. Really busy today at every part of the walk and gorgeous views throughout.
