Another walk i have done many times now, so changed things up slightly. I'd never walked around the top of winnats pass before, so decided to add that in too. Unfortunately, the wind picked up and we chose to cut things short after Mam Tor. Still worth the trip and an opportunity to talk around castleton too.

 

Leaving Castleton and entering Cave Dale.

First photo ever with a drone. Very little flying on this trip due to the high wind.

Continuing through Cave Dale.

Peveril Castle looks great from any angle. If you go in the visitor centre in Castleton, you can see what the castle would have looked like.

After a slippery experience at Cow Low and a trudge across Long Cliff, we reached Winnats Pass.

View down Winnats Pass.

Looking back to Castleton and the always obvious build up of parked cars along the road.

Heading to Mam Tor for a very slippery ascent.

We didn't spend long at all on the summit of Mam Tor, far too windy.
