Starting & finishing in the village of Hope in the Hope Valley, we tackle several summits on a continuous circular walk surrounding the beautiful Vale of Edale, including Win Hill (462m), Lose Hill (476m), Mam Tor Height (517m), Kinder Scout Low (633m) and Grindslow Knoll Height (601m). This is a challenging 31.6 km (19.9 mile) route with over 1,000m of height gain overall, and a target time of 10 hours. It requires a good level of fitness and lots of determination. The stunning views and varied terrain all add to the enjoyment. This is also a great training walk for the National Three Peaks Challenge, the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge or one of our international expeditions. You can view the route in OS Maps and you can also watch an illustrated 3-D route video below. Once you've booked, you’ll be sent joining instructions, a training plan and kit list. We can also provide advice on local accommodation and other activities.

The Edale Skyline Challenge requires a good level of fitness and you must be able to walk for up to 10-hours over hilly ground. The route is not technical, but it is a tough walking challenge in terms of distance and time. Weather & terrain The terrain of the Edale Skyline challenge walk includes well-worn paths, boggy areas (particularly after rain), steep ascents and descents. Poor weather makes the walk harder and it’s essential that participants have good footwear and adequate outdoor clothing to protect you from the elements.
