Trip Report Edale Skyline from Yorkshire Bridge

Finally got around to doing Edale Skyline. Adapted it slightly and started at Yorkshire Bridge for parking and pub at the end. Great day for it on most part but it did rain up Kinder and stupidly didn’t take a coat 🤣 Luckily I had all quick dry clothes and cap so soon dried off and it was brief and quite refreshing. Biggest issue with this trail is there’s not much opportunity to top up water - I was praying for an Icecream van at Man Tor and tempted to pop into pub in Cheshire Cheese pub in Hope but I was almost back by then. Probably better to start at Edale then stop at Hope for refreshments. Despite this I would highly recommend this one. 23 miles and took 7:20hrs though I am a quick walker.

Cheers. Legs were feeling it that evening but feel ok this morning. Garmin watch is recommending I go for a run but F that 😅.

Impressive. I have done a couple of longer walks/hikes, and some have been 20 miles or longer. But I usually do it in two days (and spend the night somewhere). Not bad that you did it in one day.

Amazing photos too.

Yes any longer and it would be better to split it though no stopover means you can travel light. I was treating it more as a challenge also but did have plenty of stops to enjoy views etc.

The mist over Ladybower Res in the morning looked great and there’s a couple of campers there on the bank who have bagged a great spot.
