Ridge walking

Something I really wanted to do in Britain was a ridge walk, which is a walk along a ridge, with views on both sides. This is quite an easy walk (about 11 km) First we walked along the valley and climbed Mam Tor.

How do the sheep not fall off? This is the almost vertical face of Mam Tor, created by a series of land slides, that finally resulted in the main road being permanently closed in 1979.

View along the ridge from the top of Mam Tor. Mam Tor means Mother Hill. It is also lnown as the Shivering Mountain due the unstable nature of its geology and frequent landslides.

Looking back to Mam Tor from Back Tor, about two thirds of the way along.

Great views!
