An IMC visit to the Peak is long-overdue, which is why we're heading back there in September.
Based at Greenacres campsite in Nether Booth, near Edale, we have direct access to Kinder Scout to the north and the Mam Tor ridge to the south with Ladybower Reservoir just a short drive to the east. Experienced, authorised adults will be in charge of each walking group (4 - 8 people) and the informal training will include walking skills, route planning, route choice, navigation, leadership and teamwork. The weekend typically provides a full day in the hills on Saturday and a half-day on Sunday before returning home, departing at around 14.00.
Participants will need to provide their own dinner on Saturday evening as well as breakfast for both days – plus the facilities to cook them on. Packed lunch for both days will also need to be provided by the participants, as well as food (or money) for the two journeys. The mini bus will stop once during each journey at motorway service areas.
You must have suitable fitness, kit, clothing and most importantly, footwear – SUGGESTED KIT LIST & GEAR GUIDE. A more comprehensive list will be provided with your confirmation email and IMC will provide any group equipment. Please contact the organiser if you are still unsure.
