Kinder Scout - Jacob's Ladder & Grindsbrook Clough

I went for another walk up Kinder Scout today, thankfully its beginning to become a regular occurrence again. I decided to differ from my regular route from Hayfield and revisit and old route Stevo and I used to take. The route begins in Edale and head west along the slopes of Kinder then down to Upper Booth, next point of call is Jacob's Ladder which is the only major accent and it leads you up on to the plateau.

I took the image above at the bottom of Jacob's Ladder, The River Noe gains pace here and flows down the valley back towards Upper Booth.

From the top of Jacob's Ladder you swing back east all the way to Grindsbrook, on the way there you cross Crowden Brook and lots of other interesting spots. The image below was taken a few minutes scramble down Grindsbrook Clough.

It was nice to do this walk again and see all the changes that have been made on this side of Kinder. The last time I came across this side was in winter when I Scrambled up Grindsbrook Clough in snowy conditions. There have been allot more "improvements" made to the path above Jacob's Ladder and I spotted a Helicopter lifting materials for the planned flood prevention scheme.
