		Kinder Scout, at 2,088ft (636m) the highest point of the Peak District, is probably the most walked-upon mountain in Britain.
		But Kinder is still a place of constant surprises - a five-square-mile morass of peat bog with no easily-perceiveable summit, yet a place of and ever-changing beauty with a social and political history unmatched in the British hills.
		Famed among hairy-kneed backpackers as the southern starting point of the 270-mile Pennine Way, it was the scene exactly 70 years ago of "the Battle of Kinder Scout" - the most infamous incident in the century-old struggle for the cherished and soon-to-be-realised right to roam on mountain and moorland.

	1992/01/01 - Kinder Scout
		When I first mentioned the idea of having a Birthday Party at Kinder Downfall, it was suggested that instead of continuing round Kinder Scout and down Jacob's Ladder, we could make a much more direct route back to the cars, straight back the way we had come.
		Kinder Scout is renowned for its wet, boggy surface and it is impossible to walk straight, across the top.
		Time and daylight were rapidly slipping away, so once we reached Kinder Downfall, it was only for a couple of sandwiches and a quick look at the spectacular sight of the whole waterfall being blown back up.

		The walk up Kinder from the west side is one of the classic excursions of the Peak District.
		It takes in some magnificent gritstone scenery, including Kinder Downfall, and, if the weather is fine, there are excellent views down towards the Manchester conurbation.
		The best weather for this walk is a windy autumn day - then the weather will be clear, the hillside colours at their best, and the Downfall at its most impressive - being blown back by the wind.

		After a well earned break we continue along the Pennine Way to Kinder Downfall at which point we leave the southerly bound Pennine Way, taking a north-easterly, then turning south-easterly footpath, heading for the Kinder Scout area.

		Kinder Scout, the upland plateau crossed by this first section of the Pennine Way, is a large area of blanket bog.
		The path then follows the edge of the moor for another mile before descending steeply to the Ashop Clough col. From the col the path enters the third and final sub-stage of today’s walk, along the lonely and drab moraine ridge of Mill Hill and Featherbed Moss.
		This is the watershed between the drainage systems of the Trent (behind you) and the Mersey (ahead of you), and it appears to retain enough moisture to keep both rivers flowing in perpetuity.

		Kinder Scout is a big boggy plateau that marks the first high hills in the Penines.
		Its highest point is at 636m, but it can hardly be called a summit as the area is so flat.
		The best bits of the plateau are around the edges where the rocks are exposed and the ground drops away steeply, for example at the Kinder Downfall.

		Kinder Scout is the highest point in Derbyshire and provides a backdrop to many views of the North West Peak District, as seen in this summer evening photo from above New Mills looking towards Kinder.
		Many trips over Kinder begin or end in the village of Hayfield, which is where the famous 'mass trespass' started in 1932 which ultimately led to public access being won over Kinder and other areas of the Peaks.
		This view is approaching a cloud covered Kinder from South Head, giving an idea of conditions in a wet spell with thick fl peat waiting to swallow the your boots.

		The story may be apocryphal, but it sums up the deeply-ingrained class struggle at the heart of the famous "Battle of Kinder Scout", the mass trespass that took place 70 years ago next week.
		That event, which resulted in five young Manchester ramblers being imprisoned for up to six months for riotous assembly, is seen as the single most important milestone in the campaign for open country recreation.
		For the past 20 years, Kinder Scout has been in the safe hands of the National Trust, which allows free access at all times.

		Whilst I agree that Kinder Scout and the Aonach Eagach are quite different in character, I feel the Prof is obviously not fully aware of the nature of Kinder Scout, and hence something more must be included in his Coefficient.
		Anyone who knows Kinder Scout well will agree that the summit plateau is in fact far from flat.
		I think not, for then he would surely know about the countless peat cloughs that would be encountered and all the falling in and climbing up out that these entail.
