Climb to Hollins Cross

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Very runnable climb to Hollins Cross (especially fun with a tail wind!) - Do keep your eyes peeled for MTB riders, but there's plenty of space for everyone. Beautiful views towards Edale on the way up and of Castleton and Hope Cement Works once you reach the top!

Brocker Booth Plantation Woodland Path

Highlight • Trail

The path through the top edge of Brocker Booth plantation follows the 375m contour, if you don't want to include the extra 100m to climb Lose Hill, this is the path to follow.

Lose Hill Lower Path

Highlight • Trail

The style to the footpath going up the hill is unable but it is just rocks and a barbed wire fence. Rocks were a little loose so if you are not sure footed it might not be the best route. However I got over it fine
