- I know, it's hard to hang your hat on a favourite, but this traverse of Derwent Edge as described in Paul Besley's book, 'Dark Peak Walks' has to be up there. A steady climb up to the ridge, great views and returning from Fairholmes Car Park all within 5/6 hours.
This is a popular location, so you need an early start and assured of good facilities before you set off!
Enjoy your climb.

25:50 one of my favourite benches. Looks a wonderful walk.
Plenty of fresh air on that one! Love the weathered rocks. Best wishes on the next.
It doesn't matter what time of year you go to the Peaks, the scenery always surprises you. Off to Stanage Edge this week, another new one for me. All the best.
Great place Ashley, up to the Peaks in a couple of weeks
I did this walk in reverse last August, I wild camped at the top of Abbey Brook and the heather was in full bloom. It’s a really beautiful walk and one of my favourites in the Peaks. Really enjoyed this upload and it was very informative, thank you.
I hope to do a bit of wild camping this year; like many others, I had Kinder Scout in mind, but this is a lot more accessible. I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully see you in the peaks someday soon. Thanks Steve
