The Pennine way path near Upper Booth in the vale of Edale,Peak district national park,Derbyshire,UK.

---

The walk from Edale divides down more or less into three subsections, of which the crossing of Kinder is the central part. From the start at Edale you first have to ascend to the plateau. There were originally two routes; the “official” route by way of Grindsbrook Clough, and the “alternative” bad-weather route via Upper Booth. The latter alternative is now the “official” route, although purists will wish to stick to Grindsbrook. It’s the way I went and the way I’d recommend; Grindsbrook is fine ravine scenery. Eagle-eyed map readers will spot a third alternative, a local footpath ascending the spur of land between the two aforementioned valley routes. This path, up Grindslow Knoll, might well find favour if you wish to avoid the crowds or simply wish to be different.
