The
Kinder Walk and Kinder Challenge - SCOUTS
The Kinder Walk is organised on behalf of the Derbyshire County Scout Council and is open to all members of the Scout and Guide Associations and in the email we received it says it is open to non-scouting teams too but please check directly with the organisrs as the literature does not give that impression. For scouting teams there are a variety of categories and associated trophies. The Kinder Walk itself is approximately 29km and the Kinder Challenge is around 16km. The Walk is aimed at older Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Guides and members of Scout Network. It is a challenge of map reading and stamina in this exciting and rugged area of the Peak District. The walk is a team event – for teams of between 2 and 5, see Categories and eligibility for details on the Kinder Challenge Walk web site. Times vary between less than 3 hours and 8 hours, maybe this will be the year to break one of the records and yours could be the team to do it!!

Disclaimer - please make sure that your party has the necessary skills, equipment and fitness before setting off into the hills. It is often necessary to be able to navigate through peat bogs and over open moorland using a map and compass. The weather can change very quickly in the hills so be prepared.
