Just did the route up Grindsbrook Clough today, amazingly good fun. I was lucky it was very dry. Thought it was going to be tougher, but in honesty it was just an enjoyable level of toughness for a novice with loads of route choices. Views for days as the sun blessed me with its presence!

Totally brilliant Alex! I am hoping to do that route in the New Year. Did it a few years ago now, so trusting I still can even in my 70’s! I will take great care of course. I love that you always give good cautious advice to anyone trying your routes. So many people go out totally unprepared. I see you were wearing your Rab Kinetic jacket. I bought the slightly heavier hiking version and love it. I was hiking in the recent snow and found that with just a fleece underneath I was warm as toast and stayed completely dry.

Thank you so much Peter! It’s a fantastic route isn’t it, sounds like you’re out in the hills more than me Peter so it’ll be a walk in the park for you 😊. Fantastic news that you like the Kinetic! I’ve worn it so much since purchasing it, so breathable yet very waterproof, amazing piece of kit! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and New Year Peter and enjoy your walk up Kinder. Hopefully one day we’ll cross paths up on the hills 😊👍

This reminds me of when we went on walking holidays as a family when I was little. I always remember kinder scout being breathtaking. (Although I probably didn't use that work as a kid!)

Completed the exact same route yesterday in sunny weather and just stumbled on this video. Brilliantly done, thank you. Wasn’t expecting the mini scramble up Grindsbrook Clough, very rewarding to get to the top. The Kinder plateau gave some fab views over the valley luckily I had a better day for it.! And yes I was cursing the ascent again after getting down Jacobs Ladder, thought I was done! Now subscribed!

Its also one of my favourite routes to do. Specially in winter when the water falls are frozen. You just need to have the right kit

Hi Alex. I enjoyed that a lot. One of my first Kinder walks many years ago and I still love it. Kinder is so vast, there are still some Cloughs on the Northern side I have not scrambled yet. And whilst I have traversed the plateau itself I wouldn’t mind exploring it a bit more in really dry weather! Really liked the time lapse, I thought it worked very well. What a place. Looking forward to you doing a snow walk up there this winter 👍😄

Thank you Greg!! It’s a beautiful route isn’t it! I think there needs to be a Kinder Clough challenge, see how long it can take to do them all in one go! Yes the plateau has so many areas that very few people have explored, I still haven’t been to the true summit so that is on my list for the summer… once the bog has dried out 😂. Thank you Greg! 👍😊

@@alexcripps.outdoors I would love to try and explore all the Cloughs but it’ll definitely need a wild camp for a night or two up there! Nether Red Brook scramble is on my list next…. Last time I was up I did Crowden Clough again with a strained knee which was “interesting” but made it. Still got to try the middle route on the largest waterfall yet there and the chimney at the top of Crowden Head.

@alexcripps.outdoors hi Alex. Did I hear that there are three points on Kinder that were thought to be the highest? I'm on The Ethel Challenge and I'm sure that when Dan Cunningham finished his there were three loints he bagged just to make sure.

Your videos are stunning Alex. I like you absolutely love the Peak District and never tire of finding new walks and places to explore. Would love to see you walk a little further afield say maybe The Sandstone Trail between Frodsham and Whitchurch or the Gritstone Trail between Lyme Park and Kidsgrove. Have a great Christmas.
