Kinder Scout Solo Bivvy.

[Anthony]

In an effort to keep up my 'at least one bivvy trip per month 2011', the late heatwave forecast and a free overnight pass from the family it was hard to resist this week:D

Route- (Dark Peak District) 4pm Langsett CP-Cutgate-Winston Lee Tor-Win Hill-Jaggers Clough-Jacobs Ladder-Kinder-*11pm Bivvy*-Kinder Reservoir-Mount Famine-Roych Clough-Rushup Edge-Hope Cross-Jaggers Clough-Blackley Clough-Rowlee Farm-Lockerbrook Farm-Derwent Reservoir-Cutgate-Langsett CP 1pm.

55 very hot miles, 7600' ascent, not bad for a cheeky mid-weeker.

Langsett Reservoir in late afternoon sunshine-


Looking down over Ladybower Reservoir from Winstone Lee Tor-


New luggage hot off the sewing machine not a few hours earlier-


Sunrise up on Kinder, absolutely stunning start to the morning-


With that forecast, no tarp needed!


2 mins back on the bike and it was already phototime again, Edale Valley.......


...and from the other direction later in the morning, looking back up at the Kinder bivvy spot-


A quick and much needed refresh before the final climb of the trip-


It was an absolutely great close to what will probably be the last of the summer season. Roll on Autumn.

Very nice ... my stomping ground before moving to Wales, very rarely go back these days.
