KINDER SCOUT SKYLINE - 20 Mile Solo Hike - Peak District

- Welcome back to another Peak District hike! In this weeks video I attempt the Kinder Scout Skyline challenge, a 20+ mile hike that takes you around the perimeter of the Kinder Scout Plateau. Kinder Scout is one of my favourite places to hike in the Peak District so I figured this route would be a great way to see all of its beauty in a single hike!
I hope you enjoy the video and feel free to leave a like, subscribe and comment, it'll really help support the growth of my channel :)

I did this last weekend after watching this , incredible walk and keep the videos coming , really love them 👍
Great Vlog …. Given me a new route to walk … keep them coming 👍
Cheers Phil 😁👍
Another inspiring story. Thank you
Class video. From what I've seen so far, great to see you exploring locally.
Cracking walk that Alex, nice to hear someone very knowledgeable about the area they’re hiking. Loving the drone shots mate, you got the hang of that pretty quick!! 👌🏼The North Edge is perfick for a spot of droning 👍🏼
The north edge of kinder is a very special place. 👍
Hi Alex, watched this and it hit home when you said it makes you feel closer to your Mum. This year was the first anniversary of my Mum's passing. I'm on the Ethel Challenge so I picked Thorpe Cloud and Tissington Hill. I had my self reflection (tears) on Thorpe Cloud and by the time I got back to the car the Queen had died. I was 59 when i lost my Mum and I'm still devastated, I can't imagine how I would feel at your age. Anyway, great hike, a bit beyond me, but still great to watch. Love the music, the videography, everything really. And I get the bit about being alone. I did Slitherstone Hill and Bradwell Moor in a loop from Peak Forest. It took me 3 3/4hrs to hike and vlog so I hate to think how long 20 miles plus Drone and B roll took you. But on that loop I saw people in the distance twice and a couple of people on mountain bikes from a mile away. But I had the whole loop to myself. It really does hit that reset switch and help blow the cobwebs away. Mum's up there watching over you. Take care.
Brilliant days walking...my legs are feeling it just watching you.
It certainly is a brilliant walk! Haha think they’ve only just about recovered from it!
Arguably one of the best presentation I have seen in this amazing hike trail. You drone footages are cool. All the very best.👍☘️
Just come across your channel, brilliant presentation and put together. I live less than 1 hour from the peaks but their most weekends.
What a beautiful film.Very impressive indeed! That looked like a great hike.
Thank you for sharing the stunning scenery, Alex 👍👍
Wow these films are just so professional. Love the drone shots and music. The scenery is literally out of this world. It would be my dream to walk in such places...☺️☺️
Incredible 20 mile long hike. Beautiful to be out there exploring the peak. Happy Trails! 👍
Glad you felt close to your mum up on the hills,
Nature has a way of doing that!
When do you know when you are an official
Peak Disctrict celeb?!
Shots, editing, sound everything here just cohesively turned this into an amazing video.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the kind words 😁👍
That was a superb walk mate. Fantastic! I love Kinder. So many scrambling routes in the many cloughs. So many amazing views, the view from Crowden Tower is 👌 and the Northern Edge is epic. Love the many many rock formations and the epic Kinder Downfall. It’s an extraordinary place. Loved the filming, your commentary and music. You did well Alex! Top job 👍👍👍
Thank you so much Greg! Yes Kinder is certainly a very special place in the Peaks!! It was great to see all of the different cloughs, definitely given me some ideas for some little scrambles! Thank you very much for the kind words as always Greg!! 😁👍
Great new video Alex. Love this one. Beautiful Landscape out there.
Thank you very much Mario!! 😁👍
Wow, your drone shots add an incredible new level to your videos. Absolutely loved it! And I understand a little about how you feel closer to your Mum out in the hills. For me, being outside is my way of staying 'in touch' with my grandparents, it has helped me feel close to them and maintain an active relationship no matter how much time has passed without physically having them around. Yet another special thing about being outdoors I guess :)
Thank you very much Chloe!! Yes I couldn’t agree more!! It’s the exact reason why I love doing at least one solo hike a week. No better place to silence any worries you have and focus on the things that matter! 😁 thank you Chloe, hope you have a great week 👍😊
Fantastic wee walk Alex. Haven't done much walking outside of Scotland and this is now on my list of places to visit! great editing and some lovely drone shots! thanks for sharing! Paul.
Thank you very much! Very jealous that you’re based in Scotland, I’m trying to get a weeks holiday booked up there at some point this year! Thank you 😁
Your knowledge of the routes and peak District is awesome mate
Cheers Craig!! Appreciate that!! Still got a lot more new areas to explore!
Brilliant walk Alex. I did part of Kinder with a mate in January. We had sunshine and blue skies, but there was a freezing wind! Like you I look forward to the Spring and Summer with the light nights. That was some walk over 20 miles, I don’t think I could do that. But I am in my 70’s! Having said that we were out for around 5 hours roaming around on the plateau, doing probably no more than 10 miles, but it was great! 😀
Thank you very much Peter! Yes the wind up there can be extremely bitter in winter! It’s very easy to spend a few hours up there isn’t it, so much to explore and see and so many hidden gems!! Hope you get up there again soon and hopefully the wind is slightly milder this time 😁👍
Great vid Alex, nicely art directed and the drone helps too, keep up the good work
Thank you very much Hugh!! 👍
Another cracking video Alex! I love the way your enthusiasm comes across when you're describing your walks. This was a really fab walk and those views from The Edge in particular were just awesome. I was thinking that, if this was just over 20 miles, you will have walked more like 30 miles after all those shots of you walking, and then having to walk back again to retrieve the camera every time! 😃 Great stuff Alex. Have a good week and all the best 👍
Thank you very much, really appreciate the kind words!!😁 The Edge always blows me away, definitely need to get a wild camp done up there soon! Yes!! I think I definitely walked a lot further than 20 miles 😂 those last few walking camera shots are always a killer when you have to go and retrieve the camera!! Thank you very much, hope you have a great week too 😁👍
Top again mate! Was up there 2 week ago, must do this walk, I only live 20 mins from here, Lol, must make the most of it! Walked up Werneth Low this weekend, my local walk, but nowt like this, take care Alex, look forward to the next one!
Thank you very much! Yes you should definitely do it, it’s a stunner of a route and a great way to see all that Kinder has to offer! Thank you for the kind words 😁👍
20 mile??? holy sh... that is long! Congrats man, great achievement, and it is a beautiful place to hike in, I'm sure you enjoyed every minute, even the hard ones :)
😂 yeah it was a little longer than I anticipated to be honest, even after I properly planned the route!! Thank you very much! Yes it was another fantastic day out in the Peaks 😁
Incredible walk mate! Definitely one for the wild camp list!
Cheers bro!! We’ll get it done this summer for sure! 🤝
No way you have got a drone!? Brilliant what did you get? We did the walk in a heatwave, it's a killer 😅 that steep climb up when you go clockwise is a good workout! Keep up the good work 😎😎🌿🏞
Yes! Finally got my hands on one, it’s the DJI mini 2, nice and light/compact so perfect for hiking! Wow that must’ve been a real killer, it’s so exposed up there when it’s hot and sunny! Thank you mate! 😁👍
@@alexcripps.outdoors it really was, chris had to make the shade for me 🤣 best drone woop woop 🙌 enjoy flying 😀
hi alex great video with superb music to match. I ve just published a video yesterday but am looking into a good video editor which one do you use for your videos? cheers
Thank you very much! So I actually only use iMovie! It does everything I need it do and more. However, I’m going to look into some better editing softwares soon when I upgrade my laptop. Great to see other people filming their Peak District adventures, good luck with it all! 😁👍
How long did the route take you in total?
A very long time! Because I was filming it etc it look a lot longer than it should’ve done, I reckon a normal time would be about 6-8 hours, depends how quick you want to do it I guess! 😁
@@alexcripps.outdoors thank you! Definitely going to have to plan that route and get out there 🧡
It's never 20 miles?!!? Always had it down as being around 14-15 miles depending on route.
I recorded it using my gps watch and the whole route I did was 21.19 miles so I even rounded it down. It’s uploaded to my strava 👍
@@alexcripps.outdoors ha ha...I was saying it in a tone of surprise. I wasn't questioning if you were being truthful or not. I used to venture in to the middle parts photographing the mountains hares. A few times mist rolled which made it very disorientating. Like being on another planet!!
My bad!! I read into that completely the wrong way 😂 To be honest when I planned the route I was very surprised at how long it was!! Couldn’t believe the route nearly ended up being as long as the Edale skyline! Yes it’s a very unique landscape up there which does feel like you’re on a different planet! I actually saw a hare on the northern edge during this walk, I can’t recall seeing any before so I was very surprised when I spotted it!! Apologies for miss reading the message 😁
@@alexcripps.outdoors Easily done and I could have made myself clearer! I used to live in Hayfield so this was my old stomping ground. I'm up in the Lakes now but watching your videos certainly makes me miss the Peak District. I can't complain though of course as it's glorious up here too! 😊 Keep up the great work....good to see younger folk enjoying the great outdoors.
