    It's 18 miles in the Peaks. That's very different to 18 miles anywhere else!

    Haha yes it is only 18 Miles. You need to do a min of 30 miles absolutely, especially in winter.
    😉

    where you from monkey boy?

    you could double your jacobs loop with a trip over around around the ladybower loop.

    ie:

    Edale, mam tor/jacobs loop, then follow it on over hope cross, the beast, hagg farm, lockerbrook, round the resevoir, up whinstone lee tor, and back over to edale.

    that's about 30 miles, but as it's a figure 8 you can jump ship when you get back to edale after the jacobs loop.
