Visit 4 - Hayfield (Sat 29th April)

Date: Saturday 29th April (A-shift)
Weather: Warm, Sunny, Slight cloud AM
Route: Hayfield BC, Edale Cross, Kinder Gates, Kinder Downfall, Kinder Reservoir, Hayfiled BC
Distance: 16 miles


Moving slowly northwards.... Hayfield briefing centre is situated at a campsite about a mile downstream from Kinder Reservoir. Tagged on to the campsite shop this isn't the biggest and most well equipped centre but still it does its job. Again I chose the right day for good weather with blue sky and visibility for miles in all directions. Ascending to the west edge if the Kinder Plateau the views were ..... with the Cheshire Plain stretching below us and the North Wales mountains in the distance. Apparently at one particular spot on the tops you can even occassionally pick-up the Welsh Mountain Rescue on the radio!














*Wildlife Watch*
Lots of grouse
