The Peak District Challenge

First Steps ED is a specialist charity supporting individuals of all ages affected by eating disorders across the Midlands. We offer early intervention, one-to-one support, and group services for those experiencing difficulties, as well as their families and carers.

We believe that movement—when approached with care and compassion—can be an important part of recovery. That’s why so many of our supporters, including friends and family of those affected, choose to take on walking and running challenges to raise vital funds for our services.

You will leave Hathersage in the Hope valley and wind your way past Grindleford, along beside the river Derwent and through the woods to pretty Baslow. From here, you will climb up Curbar and Frogatt edges enjoying some lovely views back to the valley. Next you will wander through Padley Gorge, through the Burbage Valley and up towards Millstone Edge and Mother Cap.

Then it’s a final long downhill along public footpaths to the finish past Mitchell Field and High Lees, and finally find yourself back in Hathersage again. Are you ready to take on the copper challenge and can you finish within the 9 hour target?
