Two Days, Six Peaks: One Epic Adventure!

-

Mam Tor 517m

Grassy slopes leading to an always windy, often slippery cobbled summit, topped with a pleasing trig point. Views of the Dark Peak for miles around, to Kinder plateau, along the ridge to Lose Hill and beyond to Win Hill. SK127836

Lose Hill 476m

A heart-pumping scramble up a rock staircase leads to this nicely triangular top along the high ridge from Mam Tor. Use the bronze-engraved cairn top to help you name the 360° view of surroundin­g, less pointy mountains. SK153853

Win Hill 463m

Distinctiv­ely wedge-shaped from Lose Hill’s summit, grassy Win Hill is topped with scrambleab­le rocks. It’s here that a outnumbere­d band of Northumbri­ans are said to have defeated Wessex forces on Lose Hill. SK186850

High Wheeldon 422m

This grassy cone high above the rolling White Peak fields hides a secret hidey hole – Fox Hole Cave – which you can easily find by following its faint, rocky spine down from the summit. Watch out for what’s inside… SK100661

Chrome Hill 425m

This limestone-topped, grassy slice of ancient coral reef towers above the undulating landscape. It hides a secret rock arch, and a double sunset just like its little brother, Parkhouse Hill to the southeast. SK070672

Parkhouse Hill 360m

Arguably the most impressive mini-mountain in the UK let alone the Peak District, this half-clam-shell-shaped summit is impressive­ly toothy, with an intriguing pinnacle of prehistori­c reef at its western end. SK079669
