This week's walk: Kinder Downfall after the first autumn rain
Late September is when Kinder Downfall wakes up. After a wet week the waterfall runs properly again, and on a westerly breeze its spray can blow straight back up over the edge. Our premium Kinder Scout guide covers the full Jacob's Ladder route from Edale, including the rim path and what to do when the mist comes down. The plateau is exposed and cold at this time of year, so waterproofs and a headlamp belong in every pack. Our autumn Top Picks cover both. Heading up? Email us your Downfall photo and the best one gets featured here next week.
