| Pack | Full. A weight of 31 pounds. |
| Condition | Reasonable. Legs very tired. Slightly pulled the right calf muscle extracting myself from a snowdrift. |
| Weather | Beautiful. Sunny, with a slight wind on the top of Kinder Scout. There was snow from about half way up Jacobs ladder which made the going slow. I ended up with boots full of water from going into the snow one too many times. |

Directions
Simply follow the Pennine Way from Edale to Kinder Downfall via Jacobs Ladder and back. If the weather is good you may want to return from Kinder Downfall via Grindsbrook Clough and the centre of Kinder, but on the day in question the weather was not good enough - the snow was too deep!
This walk is a nice strenuous hike with a fairly steep climb from Jacobs Ladder up to the Kinder Low Trig Point. Routefinding is very easy as this route follows the first 5-6 miles of the Pennine Way.
