This week's walk: Stanage Edge, first-mist season
September flips a switch on Stanage. The crowds thin out with the school run back on, the heather is having its last purple week, and early starts now come with proper valley mist that burns off just as you reach the trig point on High Neb. Our Stanage Edge Circuit guide in the Trail Guides tab has the full route — the Hollin Bank start, where the abandoned millstones hide along the edge, and which car park actually has space on a Saturday. Mornings are suddenly single-figure cold up there, so check your layers before you go — our researched picks are in the Shop tab, and if you're kitting out for your first autumn of walking, the £5 Starter Pack checklist covers what actually matters. Walked the Edge this week? Email us your mist shot — the best one gets featured right here next Wednesday.
