We climbed into and out of the top of Grindsbrook Clough, a rocky, pretty gully. The summit was easy and flat, we passed strange shapes and finally reached Kinderlow and the trig point. This is not the summit of Kinder Scout but just 3 metres less and the true summit has nothing special to commemorate it. On the way there the weather took a turn for the worse and mist came down, we almost missed our trail but suddenly it lifted after we'd put our waterproofs on! Of course, the sun came out then!
The easy walk back down Jacobs Ladder (paved stones) led us back to Edale.
A fabulous 8 mile hike - loved it!
