It doesn’t in fact have a trig point as such but a toposcope. Lose Hill at the Eastern end of the ridge has an Elevation of 476 m. Just a word of warning, dress for the occasion, the weather is unpredictable and the ground can be thick with mud, and slippery, it’s not a fashion parade. They tip toe through the mud, slip over, and shiver in the high winds on top of the ridge. I have seen so many people walking past who were wearing just white fashion trainers and the most basic of clothes as though they’re going to be walking in town. Walking boots and walking clothing is definitely needed here if you don’t want a twisted ankle or a drenching from the Derbyshire weather. It’s inevitable that this open and rugged landscape is going to be weathered and muddy no matter what. It is a very popular location and has a heavy footfall which does make the path quite susceptible to erosion and has in many parts especially through the winter, some very wet muddy walking areas. The path runs along the full length of the ridge from end to end and is paved with heavy-duty slabs through a large section of the route to avoid more erosion damage. It extends for approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) from Mam Tor at the western end of the ridge through to Lose Hill at the eastern end, the lowest point along the ridge is Hollins Cross. The iconic Great Ridge in the peak district separates the vales of Edale and Castleton in Derbyshire, England.
