Edale Skyline Peak District Challenge x Love Her Wild Community | Sat 15 May 2027

£70.00

The Edale Skyline is a tough yet spectacular 20 mile (32km) hiking challenge in the Peak District National Park. Starting and ending our day in Hope, we’ll circle the Edale Valley, covering 1,250m of elevation across major summits like Win Hill, Kinder Scout, Mam Tor, and Lose Hill.

We will be taking on the challenge as a group walking at a steady relaxed pace - this is not a race and we have no time limit to complete this challenge. We can take our time to enjoy the spectacular scenery and a truly wonderful Peak District day out!
