Harry Hut & Featherbed Top

An absolutely awesome day on the hills with wonderful walking weather, blue skies and no wind. Although not technically a Kinder ascent route this route could be used as an approach to Kinder and the climb out of Glossop to Harry Hut is excellent as is the return route down Doctors Gate, one of the best paths in the whole of the Peak District.
