- Here is my video hiking Mam Tor and The Great Ridge walk from Castleton in the Peak District National Park.
The 8.5 mile route starts from the main car park in Castleton and heads west towards Winnats Pass. Before you go to far head right to Treak Cliff Cavern and then to Blue John Cavern where the rare gem stones are mined.
At this point you can join the main Mam Tor route to the summit. Mam Tor can be extremely busy with tourists as it's a relatively easy-to-moderate hiking trail. The summit is 517 metres high.
From Mam Tor start your descent to the east to pick up The Great Ridge. This fantastic ridge walk gives you stunning views of Edale Valley and Hope Valley. As you hike across you will pass Hollins Cross at 426 metres. From there you continue to Back Tor. This is a stunning little mountain at 391 metres high with a steeper ascent.
From Back Tor it's down then up to Lose Hill at 476 metres. After Lose Hill you work your wat down to the village of Hope. There's plenty of pubs and shops at Hope.
From Hope head south and then west back towards Castleton town.
During my hike I was wearing:
La Sportiva Hiking Boots
Fjallraven Shorts
Revolution Race T-Shirt
Artilect Studios Fleece
Rab Rucksack
OMM Chest Rig
The route was 8.5 miles long with 1800ft ascent and took us just over 3 hours walking time.
The route can be found on Strava here: / strava

Wow,!! what a breathtaking adventure! Relaxing walk and beautiful landscape.stay safe and have a nice day. Greetings from JAPAN.
Great video, well put together, thankyou.
Great walk and some beautiful views
Nice trip Andy , hope you had a brilliant time away
Love love love this little video with you including your partner. Would be great to see more like this with her more involved and maybe talk about the year one of both of you are using on the way.
Great video, looks like a nice hike!
Great video Andy, really cool to see the missus getting out with you. Mine said hiking at weekends doesnt work for her, as she would spill her wine :)
Great videos
No problem, I stated a youtube account and trying to make videos but long way to go it's great to share the mountains 😀
Great video 👍 Nice to see the good lady out with you too, looks like you both had a brill time
We had a great time thanks, sore heads in the morning though 😩 🍻 🍷
Nice on mate 😊
Really like this channel
Well done mate.🏴
Cheers 👍
Lovely area some great views ... Really busy when we went on a saturday
I went on a Bank Holiday once, that was crazy!
Good to see you out and about again! 😊 what’s the little chest carry case thingy you have attached to bag? Looks a convenient little but if kit
It's the OMM Chest Pod. Great for vloggers or those that like to take lots of snacks!
@@BackpackingUK thanks for that I’d probably use it for snacking compass and map 😂
Have you given any thought to doing a video on your camera and gadget setups. I think that be interesting too see what you use as the likes of this bag, the magic selfie stick and cameras etc 😁
Really enjoyed the video - what a wonderful area to hike.
How do you edit your camera holder/selfie stick out if the video?
It’s a special camera that uses very clever software to create an invisible selfie stick. It’s called Insta360.
We use to do the Castleton Circular Regularly Mountain Biking so obviously no Footpaths. But we used to Ride down Cavedale below Pevril Castle. Think they stopped Mountain bikers using Cavedale some years ago. But i loved it edge of pants stuff .
Nice circular, I normally stay in Edale, start up Hollins Cross, walk east along the ridge, down, through Hope & Castleton, up Winnats Pass and across to Windy Knoll, up Mam Tor then back to Hollins Cross, great little loop but I avoid the great ridge on weekends, way too many people, I prefer northern edge of Kinder, very few people up there.
Nice one Andy, looks like you had a great day! Certainly good weather for it. Seen some great inversions, sunrises and sunsets from around there. Good to see the Insta360 getting a run out. What software do you use to edit if you don’t mind me asking? Any advice on music for YT videos? Do you use royalty free or a subscription service. Cheers in advance.
I just use my iPhone with iMovie and Adobe Rush 👍
Great walk. Do you have the GPX file at all?
A link is in the description 👍
Great video and a good change from a std review vid, next one maybe slower 360's and ambient music, area history if relevant could be a bonus, a lesson for the kids / adults. The recent video of the group camp and wanderings in Brecon were also good, potentially a time to make reviews is when you are on a camp.
Most pure hiking videos get very little views so I now keep them short and sweet!
Could follow your Mrs up the hill all day. 😅😋
