Park your car by the side of the road (there is a reasonable bit of space here) and make your way up the driveway to Rowland Cote Youth Hostel. Cross lady Booth Brook by the little wooden bridge and angle your way around the contour of the little vale. Continue along the fence line passing Clough Farm before slowly climbing along and up the flanks of Nether Moor.
There is a slight downhill into the vale of Jaggers Clough before a dogleg (across the small stream) pulls you back up towards Crookstone Barr. Ascend from here towards Crookstone Hill before attaining the top of Crookstone Knoll. On your way up, pause to admire the view by the side of the 2 small trees that sit beside the path.
Once on the top of the Knoll, make your way along the edge of the plateau, floowing the path until gaining the outcrop at Ringing Roger. Push on to Nether Tor and again follow the plateau edge through Upper Tor. From here the path curls around eventually heading south to Grindslow Knoll and a slow descent back to the vale. A sharp descent through Grindslow Ho deposits you in Edale. A very short zipzag and you take the lowland path to Ollerbrook Booth and then eventually back to Nether Booth.
A cream tea is surely the best way to finish the day from here on in!
