Edale

Or to be technically correct, Upper Booth.

This has to be my favourite campsite in the Peaks. It's isolated enough that it feels like a proper rural campsite, and you wake up to amazing views of the hills around you. It's even nicer when I'm not sharing it with 100s of teenagers, but...hey hum!

We spent both nights at the same campsite, with two of the groups heading up onto Kinder on Sat, and the other heading along Crowden Edge towards Edale Cross, before doubling back towards Edale. Tony & I had a lazy morning, not expecting anyone back before 3pm. We were just about to go for a walk when one of the groups arrived back at the campsite. They were adamant that they had been to Kinder Downfall and back...but couldn't describe what Kinder Downfall looked like! (Yes, it was the same group that didn't know where Stanage Edge was). So we went for a stroll to Edale instead. They've not long opened their new visitor centre, so we went for a look round that. A fair amount of it is dedicated to the Mass Trespass that occurred on Kinder Scout in 1932, and was the catalyst for the opening up of much of our countryside to the general public.
