IMC Hill Walking
£45 with minibus transport • 24 places • Camping • Self-catered • Age 14+ 

We're heading back to the Dark Peak in September. Based at Greenacres campsite in Nether Booth, near Edale, we have direct access to Kinder Scout to the north and the Mam Tor ridge to the south with Ladybower Reservoir just a short drive to the east. Experienced, authorised adults will be in charge of each walking group (4 - 8 people) and the informal training will include walking skills, route planning, route choice, navigation, leadership and teamwork. The weekend typically provides a full day in the hills on Saturday and a half-day on Sunday before returning home, departing at around 14.00.

This year the Kent Scouts Climbing Team are also in the area and are doing an 80 foot abseil off of the Millersdale Viaduct on Sunday morning. Anyone who would like to do that is very welcome and there is a tick-box on the application form if you do. If you don't then a pleasant walk along the Monsal trail / Chee Dale awaits instead.

You will need to provide lightweight camping kit and cooking facilities. This trip is entirely self-catered so x2 breakfasts, x1 evening meal and x2 packed lunches will need to be provided by the participants as well as food (or money) for the two journeys. The mini bus will stop once during each journey at motorway service areas.

Applications are accepted on a first-come, first served basis. You must have suitable fitness, clothing, footwear and camping kit – and the ability to pitch your tents in the dark!
