This route passes through some beautiful terrain and offers breath taking views from the summit. On this walk we will visit and explore the wreckage of a former aeroplane crash site known as the “Bleaklow Bomber” which is located just beyond Greater Manchester’s boundaries, concealed on the hills above Glossop. The US Air Force aircraft, known as “Over Exposed,” crashed here in 1948, and today, much of the debris is still dispersed across the moors of Bleaklow, along with a moving memorial plaque.
Many residents and visitors are utterly unaware that the Peak District is also home to this historical monument, despite the fact that it is well known for its extensive collection of outdoor delights to explore.
After a lunch stop (and trigpoint shots) we will make our way to Higher Shelf Stones where we will take in more breath taking Dark Peak sceneries before making our way downhill and back to the car park whilst taking in more valleys, rivers, and waterfalls to keep our cameras active.
All of our hiking leaders hold the relevant qualifications and have heaps of knowledge on the plants, landscapes and history of our national parks. The leader will create a WhatsApp group before the event providing all the information you need and you ladies can also use the group to organise car share and get to know each other.
Kate will be your Mountain Leader. To get to know Kate a little more head to Emma & The Team.
