It was a much colder day than yesterday and
windier too as we left the car park in Edale and set off to the
village centre.
We followed the start of the Pennine Way before
turning off to gain the plateau via Grindslow Knoll. At the top of
the Knoll we sat in a relatively sheltered spot to have a hot drink
then braving the hail and wins and mist, we continued to follow the
edge path heading eastwards so that the strong wind would be at our
backs.
Again we had a short break in the shelter of small
gritstone tors part of the way towards Ringing Roger, where we made
the start of our descent back to Edale.
We found the wind very strong as we walked along
the top of Ringing Roger and made for a very sheltered and flat spot
on the east side where we again had a short break and also found the
waterproof plastic box containing various items which appeared to be
a Geocache.
We made our way down the eastern side of Ringing
Roger to reach the path which zigzags down towards Grindsbrook Booth.
We were looking forward to a teas and a snack in
the café but the café at Coopers Farm campsite was closed (it being
New Year's Day) but fortunately the National Trust café by Edale
train station, “The Penny Pot” was open and we had our snack and
mug of tea there.
