Today, our plan is to go to Kinder Scout. My legs are so pain after walking the whole day in Castleton, hope i can finish the route in Kinder Scout. Our plan is to take a train to Edale and head to Kinder Downfall and Kinder Reservoir. I did some research over the internet and it say that we need 6 hours and 30 minutes to finish the route.

When we arrived at Edale, the first stop is to go to tourist information center to get the map ( prevent us from getting loss). We were asked to buy a map which i think is useless...but at the end we also buy a map. Actually, we just need to walk around and ask for direction which is more useful that looking at the map ( too messy and confusing..hehe..i'm poor in reading map and have no sense of direction...better to rely on guys=P).

This is the map of Edale town and ways to go to Kinder Scout and we just follow the map. We follow Pennine way to head to the top. Its is such a long journey and there are many "bomb" (lamb shit) that we need to be careful not to step on it. On the way, we met a long of "ang mo" climbing the mountain also. We ended up just follow them...The scenery here is nicer than Castleton. We are surrounded by a lot of mountains, trees , river and waterfall.




Then we need to climb up the hill thru Jacobs Ladder. The journey is so long and tiring. Luckily i have the determination to reach to the top, if not i scared i will give up halfway.


Finally, i reach the end of Jacobs Ladder. I already lost counted of how many stairs i walked. I am exhausted and feel like finding a place to sit down. However, i know that if i sit down and rest, i will feel lazy to continue the journey so, i give up resting and continue to the top. My legs already feeling numb but i just keep on walking like a robot.


At last, i reach the top of Kinder Scout. The mountain is higher than Man tor and i am able to see Castleton from here. The top is very cold until there is no plants that can survive. There is only rocks and sands and some grass. Me and Kuang yaw have our lunch here, and it was so cold and windy that i almost froze to death. We hide behind the stone and have our lunch (bread with ham ) while waiting for our friends to reach the top. After lunch , we head towards Kinder Downfall. However, it was raining too heavily and we are unable to find the road path and plan to head back before we get lost。

On the way downhill, i got pass through a lot of stones and some of the stones even looks like a face. The stones are so huge and i look so small standing beside it. It takes us less than 3 hours to reach Edale cause we follow the short cut way ( walking down the hill with 45degree radian ).

Our group photos on the way back to Sheffield( every1 of us looks tired)

Have a nice journey 2day ...but i miss the most important part which is Kinder Downfall. I plan to go again during September with another group of friends.
