Location: Hope, England

Embark on the Skamper Edale Ridgeline, a challenging 31.7km loop beginning and ending in Hope, Peak District. This route is a fell runner's dream, featuring substantial elevation gain (826m) across a varied landscape of rocky trails, grassy paths, and exposed ridge lines. You'll conquer iconic Peaks summits like Lose Hill, Mam Tor, Lord's Seat, Brown Knoll, Crowden Tower, Grindslow Knoll, Ringing Roger, and Win Hill, enjoying expansive views throughout.

Ideal for seasoned runners seeking a demanding long-distance training run or a spectacular day out exploring the heart of the Peaks. The 4/5 hilliness rating and largely unpaved surfaces make this a true test of endurance and mountain running skills, requiring careful planning for changeable weather conditions in exposed sections above 500m.
