  • Observation

    The Edale Moor trig sees far fewer walkers than Kinder Scout summit itself, making it a quieter lunch stop. On the day of the walk "absolutely no one" was at the trig.

    they were on Kindle though there would have been hundreds here but there is absolutely no one

    The Snake Pass (A57) runs along the southern edge of the moor below the Edale Moor trig. Wind and motorbike noise from the road is audible from the trig on busy days.

    the only thing you can hear up there for a snake bosses and motorbikes

Alternative approaches to the Edale Moor trig include the Grindsbrook clough scramble and a path via Ringing Roger. Both are hands-on scrambles in places, especially in wet conditions.
