Little did I know stanage edge is popular due to Kiera knightly and pride and prejudice, I just knew it as a place I’d hankered to visit but questioned my ability to get there.


However Mr Moon was fabulous in his research, and stopped somewhere to sleep over and a place to cut out a massively climb too. Which was a godsend.
We had moody skies and howling biting winds, but we didn’t care, up we went to soak up the views and explore the edge. We didn’t do the whole edge as that is miles. But a nice walk to the Kiera Knightly rock and Robin Hood’s Cave was enough for us. Mr Moon got some dramatic drone footage too.





As you can see I got a Trig. I often can’t get them as they are too high, but we did due to the genius parking. It still felt like a win for me! Still using the 1cm insoles as I find them the most comfortable, although I do think I can soon graduate to 1.5cm. We sat around a fair bit not only for drone footage but also for some recovery, as the thigh pain is still present as I lift the leg to step. And the horrendous back pain is present. Thankfully views and personal grit get me to do things, knowing I can rest and not move afterwards. While I’m resting writing this, I’m still so pleased I managed this walk.




Millstones are heavily featured in the Peak District, and they are massive. So we love hunting them in each walk.
