Edale Skyline Trek

Friday 11 – Sunday 13 June 2027

Take on one of the Peak District’s most iconic walking challenges, combining rugged trails, sweeping panoramas and rewarding climbs in one unforgettable day. Covering 20 miles and approx. 4,000 ft elevation, this classic route takes in some of the region’s most famous hills that surround the picturesque village of Edale. It’s the perfect opportunity to test yourself and make lasting memories.

Key Summits & Route: takes in Brown Knoll, Mam Tor, Back Tor, Lose HIll and Win Hill.

The route is non-technical with no sharp ridges or huge ascents, making it an ideal first longer distance challenge walk. You’ll need to have a good level of fitness and you need to be able to walk over hilly terrains for a full day with only short breaks. We recommend joining our free training walks (see below) to prepare for this event.

The walk will be led by our qualified walk leaders so you don’t need to worry about navigating the route or the logistics.

Secure your place for just £95 deposit!

Cost: £295pp (includes YHA accommodation, transport, breakfast, lunch, full support, medal and bespoke technical t-shirt).

Fundraise for us!

We offer great value for money with this event run at cost price and all of the support provided by volunteers. In return, we ask that you fundraise a minimum of £500pp to help young people belong, contribute and thrive through YMCA East Surrey’s charitable projects.

All fundraising in 2027 will go toward our Life Change Fund which was set up to help support young people in our community. In the past this has funded our Y Bus mobile youth bus, as well as furnished housing projects so young people have a home. By fundraising for us, you’ll be helping to give vulnerable young people a fresh start and the chance to build a brighter future.

Join us in making a difference and creating a brighter future for young people.
