The First day and a tough one with a high degree of undulation. The route has changed over the years. It used to go right over the top of Kinder Scout, where many people proceeded to get lost in both good and bad weather and in the bogs and peat hags of the mountain. The modern route is a lot easier and safer in the sense that you are kept off the tops of Kinder Scout and kept to a generally good path up over Jacobs Ladder, Kinder Low and up towards Kinder Downfall the main drainage from the massif which often blows uphill when it is windy! The way then descends from Kinder and along a long section of paved walkway from Mill Hill crossing the A57 road and up to very bleak Bleaklow head before a long and, in places, steep descent via Torside Clough to Torside reservoir. The nearest accommodation to Torside is located in Crowden.
