2016.10.23 Fairholmes, up through Hagg Woods, down to E of
Hagg Farm, cross A57 Rd, follow canal, to & behind Upper Ashop (farm) to
Blackden River / Clough then up to Kinder, 10min Edale Moor crossing to Kinder S
Edge, Grindslow Knoll, Grindsbrook Booth, Edale, Mam Nik, Rowter Farm & FP to E,
down W of Peak Cavern, Castleton - leader Andrew Irwin - Sunday
Note - part of Blackden Clough with un-bridged stream crossings and
exposed and slippery paths require care. It is a
'scramble' in parts.

it emerges about 0.5km South of Lockerbrook Farm |

36 Is this the site of the siphon across the River Ashop for
conduit water or is it lower downstream? What is this structure?
Water is drawn higher up the River Ashop, from behind a weir,
and fed into a conduit (in open & closed parts) / a siphon
across the river / then a tunnel / then a conduit to the Derwent
Reservoir - see Wikipedia |
|
38 the conduit feeding into Derwent Reservoir is in both
open and closed sections |
