um May 2019 6:50pm, 2 May 2019 897 posts	0 um Curly - have you chosen accommodation or specific areas? There's info in the Peak District forum here : fetcheveryone.com/viewtopic.php?id=59960 And plenty of very knowledgeable and local fetchies ... My walks have been about half your limit, ie 10 to 15 miles, I can share routes if interested. Mostly within a short distance of Hathersage (because that's where I stayed), but also did Monsal Trail (interesting for the scenery & tunnels, but aybe better to run or cycle), and a short Dovedale to Mildale walk (on the recommendation of Fetch himself) on a weekend trip.
Curly45 May 2019 7:05pm, 2 May 2019 3,896 posts	0 Curly45 Hilly is the key requirement. Ideally around 800m each day. More if possible. Not fussed on scenery type, places etc. Just within reach of a train station.

um May 2019 7:12pm, 2 May 2019 898 posts	0 um A few 'what I have done' ... all can be adjusted for more or less hills or distance. I would do them all again. Kinder ramble/loop : fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1793340 Stanage Edge (add a mile each way from the station) : fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1793501 Derwent Edge - may need a bit of planning for a station : fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1793502 Castleton & Mam Tor loop - also start can be adjusted to a station : fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1793229
Curly45 May 2019 7:15pm, 2 May 2019 3,898 posts	0 Curly45 Cheers um! Looks like Edale is about 5 hours from ours so will need to factor that in on the Sunday for traveling back.
halfpint May 2019 3:37pm, 10 May 2019 28,001 posts	0 halfpint Hello all. Well we have covered 81 miles of the West Highland Way since Monday. It’s been a week of highs and lows. Some days I didn’t think we’d make it, others I didn’t think we’d even start. The boy (age 16) has toughed it out and done himself proud. Another 15 tomorrow.
