I suggest starting at 10.00am from the car park at Barber Booth SK 1080
8472
There should be room for enough cars, but would think getting there
earlier may be better as Saturdays can get busy. This is a classic walk over
Kinder but keeping away from the main drag. We will walk up the road to
Upper Booth then make our way into Crowden Clough. The ascent of this
should be fun and a scramble can be done at the top, if you like, and
weather conditions permit. From the top we use the compass to track over
the main plateaux of Kinder and into the Kinder River basin which we
follow to the Downfall (lunch?) From here around the edge to Cluther
Rocks, then down to point 427m left around the ridge over Oaken Clough
and pick up the Pennine Way back to the start. About 13k but some hard
going.
