Afternoon...
A while ago I heard about a bothy on kinder scout... But my memory being what it is I can't remember where about... Can anyone re-enlighten me as to where it is? I promise not to tell anyone!!!
Cheers
A quick Google suggests there's one nr Fairbrook Naze in the rocks somewhere.
Nothing on the os tho... Will keep looking, ta!
TBF - Bothy might be stretching it!

Take a look at the photos....
See what you mean!!! I'll stick with the tent atm then 😆
Bump for the evening crowd....
I don't know of any that have a roof on or are unlocked.
I can tell you where the the others are though if that's any use?
Locked shooting hut at SK 142887
Ruins at SK 091907
Both on OS maps but there are much better places to sleep on kinder. However you will have to find those for yourself 😉
There are no bothies on Kinder.
There is a cave near Kinder Low that you might spend an uncomfortable night in.
S of Sandy Heys there is a big overhanging rock that you could kip under.
Neither are accessible by bike.
There is this place, but you'll have to find it yourself, just like I did. 😉

I won't be up there on the bike, just walking... I was wondering about the shooting huts, but figured they would be locked. Was thinking of pitching at either the back of the woolpacks or kinder outfall as I'll be coming in from Hathersage (where my sisters lives) probably walking from there or hope for the first day, then continue on from there... Aiming for 30 or so miles over a couple of days and nights
Any pointers on that rich???
You can do a lot worse than an extended circumnavigation of the plateau, the northern, less visited edge which overlooks the Snake Pass is very quiet and quite beautiful in places, but there are so many options.
No bothies that I've ever seen, but you an always cosy up to a sheep...
Last time I camped up on kinder I woke up to the most awful noise.... Sheep are bloody noisy at 3am, so not sharing my tent with them !!!
