This is relatively easy walk that starts by heading along the Long Causeway.

As the path climbs the view opens up across Callow Bank to Higger Tor.

The Long Causeway is much smoother since it was 'improved' in the name of health and safety, no more boulders to avoid.

We didn't follow the track quite as far as the summit, instead we turned back on ourselves
to follow the track along the top of Stanage Edge.

Once the stile is crossed the narrow path becomes a wide and clear track along the top of Stanage Edge.

We pass below Crow Chin, which has a climber following one of its routes.

Much of the path back was through ferns, which in this heat meant the midges were out.

As we approach the end of the walk Hathersage is visible in the valley below.
