Getting there
Public transport: The Edale Train Station in the Peak District/Hope Valley is the starting point for the hike and can be reached by train.
Clothing/shoes
It is cold, so wear warm clothing and pack hand gloves - the weather can be finicky. If possible, you should also have rain gear, coats, pants, or a change of clothes. Hiking or walking shoes are compulsory, please - no sneakers, slippers, or bare feet.
Food/drinks
The walk should take about 2.5 – 3.5 hours, so pack brunch or light snacks and drinks - it's completely up to you. Typically, there should be a break for food and rest.
Weather
Unpredictable. That is what it is. So come prepared – see previous points.
Fitness level
The distance is about 7 km with elevations – so you need to be okay with walking/hikes and some extensive going uphill.
** Easy-medium effort.
Accessibility
Unfortunately, there are no accessibility provisions for this hike. We will do better as soon as we can.
Tickets
Hiking with blackside is free, of course. Tickets are to understand how many people are joining.
We completely understand that life can surprise us and plans may need to change! If you have a ticket but can’t make it, we’d appreciate knowing in advance so we can plan accordingly.
