	Bleaklow is a gritstone hill north of Kinder Scout.
		Bleaklow is a gritstone hill north of Kinder Scout.
		Bleaklow is the northern sister to Kinder, joined to it by a neck of high land over 500 metres above sea level, over which pass the Snake Road and the old Roman road of Doctor's Gate.
		Bleaklow has a less well-pronounced series of gritstone edges around its circumference, and its contours are more rounded than Kinder's, but it is less accessible and more remote with fewer paths and fewer features which aid navigation.

	Snake Pass to Longendale
		Bleaklow is a vast sprawl of moorland wilderness, roughly 130 square kilometres of peat bog, heather and rough grasses.
		The nominal summit of Bleaklow is marked by a tall stake around which a large cairn has been built, though curiously it's not actually at the highest point, a peaty hummock some ten feet higher about fifty metres to the east.
		Bleaklow's top is broad and largely flat and there is no view to speak of, just the far off lines of similar moorland heights to the north and south.

	National Trust \| High Peak Estate \| Bleaklow
		Bleaklow known as the 'Wastes' to medieval map makers is a massive expanse of wild, remote, windswept moorland.
		Approximately, 5,500 BC the worlds climate became warmer and wetter, this allowed the Sphagnum mosses on the high slopes of Bleaklow and surrounding moors to grow and spread, the accumulation of this plant material produced the deep peat which now blankets the moor.
		Bleaklow is also important to moorland birds species which live and breed here.

	Bleaklow Head from Old Glossop walk in Peak District National Park, England
		Despite the dark reputation of Bleaklow, it is a unique place that can provide a very different and satisfying days walk, but care and preparations are vital in bad weather.
		The most exciting way to Bleaklow Head is to had North and very slightly east across the boggy terrain straight to the Wain Stones.
		Bleaklow Head is a strange summit with just a huge pile of rocks for a cairn, no trig point and a huge wooden stake which seems to have sit idle for some yeas.

	Bleaklow Head from Old Glossop walk in Peak District National Park, England
		The Bleaklow plateau is a huge bleak desert of peat hags and groughs edged by rocky gritstone cliffed cloughs.
		The terrain as you ascend Lightside will go from grass field to heather and then eventually as you reach the top of the ridge you will suddenly be in the wonderful world of peat on the Bleaklow Plateau.
		A huge expanse of boggy peat and outstanding stone formations, the hags and groughs of Bleaklow are impossible to navigate in bad weather.

		After the death of anyone very close to us, the mind is flooded with memories like snap-shots in a mental album, or scenes from a film that we somehow seem to have been a part of: sensations of a reality that we long to touch, but which lie just beyond our grasp.
		Dark and forbidding at the best of times, on that day an icy mist swirled in uneven strata, making rocks and stunted bushes appear to float in mid air.

		I met up with a guy at Bleaklow Head who was debating on cutting short his walk and going back along the PW due to the conditions.
		I was making my way over to Bleaklow Stones then back via Grains in the Water to Snake Summit, so he asked if he could tag along with me as that was more-or-less his original route.

	The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Much of the main plateau of Bleaklow is a boggy peat moorland, seamed by 'groughs' (pronounced 'gruffs', water-eroded channels in the peat), and lacking strong changes in elevation — in poor conditions its traverse is probably the most navigationally challenging in the Peak District.
		On 3rd November 1948, Boeing RB-29A Superfortress 44-61999 of the 16th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron, 91st Reconnaissance Group, 311th Air Division, Strategic Air Command, USAF crashed at Higher Shelf Stones whilst on route from Scampton to Burtonwood.

	Walk #586: A circular walk from Crowden to Bleaklow
		To aid navigation across the moorland there are a series of stakes, and whilst I could not see from one of these to another due to the cloud, coming across them at least confirmed that I was on course and not going off in the wrong direction.
		Once at the Wain Stones follow a footpath that heads eastwards across the top of Bleaklow; the route is marked by a series of stakes, but in misty conditions these can be very hard to see.
		The path passes the Bleaklow Stones and then turns to the left slightly to head northeastwards for another kilometre.

		Over-grazing by sheep is considered to be one of the causes of peat erosion, but atmospheric pollution, burning, drainage and trampling by walkers are also known to have had big effects.
		The disastrous fire, which swept across 1,838 acres/744ha of the centre of Bleaklow at Easter, also destroyed two miles/3km of the newly erected fence on the western side of the moor.

	Walk #685: A circular walk from Fairholmes to Alport Castle and Bleaklow
		As it was lunchtime I looked for a good position to hunker down in the lee of the stones out of the wind, and when I found such a position it was not surprising to find another couple sheltering there.
		I had been hoping to take my time on the rest of the walk, and I was aware that this was going to make it quite tight, and so I decided to have an abbreviated rest and headed off again across the moors.
		However I have never found Bleaklow to be as hard going as Kinder perhaps because the routes I take tend to follow the lines of the groughs rather than cut across them, and I had soon descended down to Swains Head.

	Walk #704: A circular walk from Hadfield onto Bleaklow
		For the third year in a row a friend of mine, Mike, was up to stay for a few days over the Christmas period and as usual we decided to go for a walk.
		After studying the maps for a while we decided on a circular walk over Bleaklow from Hadfield, a walk that looked like it had a suitable combination of height and distance.
		The muddy water overwhelmed his boots and got his feet wet - it was annoying to have this happen this near the end of the walk, having survived the usually boggy Bleaklow with dry feet.

		Crashed at Higher Shelf Stones, Bleaklow - 3rd November 1948 during a routine flight from RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire to Burtonwood USAF base near Warrington.
		The pilot was 19 years old and died in the crash that was discovered by a sheep farmer.
		It is not easy to find though and using a compass it always takes me about 10-15 mins to locate the exact spot each time I have visited it or taken groups to see it.

		The Bleaklow sites lie between the 510 and 620 metres and are within the Dark Peak SSSI, South Pennines Moors SPA and candidate SAC; all sites are under North Peak ESA agreements.
		The Bleaklow area can be described as upland or blanket bog, with a peat depth of up to 3 metres in places; however, the peat has been totally eroded in places leaving the underlying mineral soil exposed.
		In addition to the continual process of erosion, grazing and atmospheric pollution, much of the Bleaklow Plateau was affected by a huge moorland fire in late April 2003.

	Navigation
		Today we went back to do the walk we had to abandon in February due to the amount of snow on the top of Bleaklow, we couldn't have chosen a more different day.
		Despite the Bank Holiday crowds that we had seen on our way to the start of the walk we actually saw very few people all day, possibly because so much of the route was not on established paths which certainly slowed us down.
		These white hares are quite common on Bleaklow but it's very rare for them to stay still long enough for you to get the camera out.

	A contribution to the opening ceremony - Muse's Muse Songwriting Message Board
		I probably won't be a regular contributor because most of my instrumental music is in the form of scores converted to midi files (this means the notes are played without any performer interpretation - not the easiest listening), but anyway, here's one such piece that's a long way from being a song without vocals.
		(Bleaklow is a rather featureless moorland hill in the north west of England; the piece could be played by a string quintet, but it certainly isn't on this recording!)
		I could picture this being used as music for a documentary about Bleaklow, with the bugs buzzing and birds fluttering about.

		Like its bigger brother, Kinder Scout, Bleaklow is more of a plateau than a hill, and soon you will find that the path disappears altogether.
