The group clung together until after the turnoff for Kinder Downfall, then the faster ones did the full route before descending to Edale, others followed the shortcut over Grindslow Knoll. On the descent down Ringing Roger we finally saw whom we had been missing all weekend, the SWC Representative for Richmond & Kew. She had arrived the previous day. <br />All I think made it to the Nags Head for lunch or drinks, most finished the walk there but 5 followed on up the Great Ridge and over Mam Tor. We had time enough for a final Peak District drink at The Ramblers before the 17.34 train. N=22 w=mixed-with-an-hour-of-wet-stuff<br /><br />All in we had 35 different SWCers walking over the days, plus 1 recently injured one always around but not on any walk due to a plaster cast on one arm... And pretty good walking weather, if a little cold for the time of year.
