This time we ascended Lose Hill from Hope village with a steep 900ft climb. Things are starting to come together now with our first journey done as a group in a minibus - not sure about Mr White van man's driving techniques though ! We tackled the first two miles watching the clock and managed the climb in 40 minutes - looking good, staying together as one group and managing to keep the pace as we then set off along Mam Tor ridge. You can have a look at the route here.

Short stop for some food and water and then a descent down winnats pass and back along Hope Valley to find the minibus.
