So we'll be out enjoying the walk today, but also sparing a thought for Benny Rothman and his comrades who made it all possible.
One morning in 1932, when most of the moorlands and countryside was private land with no rights of access, a group of 700 people led by Benny Rothman, a Jewish anti-fascist activist from Manchester forced their way past fences and armed gamekeepers in a "mass trespass" up onto Kinder Scout hill.
Many were arrested, and some imprisoned, but the public mood of anger that working class people had been jailed simply for wanting to enjoy fresh air meant that soon afterwards the right to roam on the UK's moorlands and wildernesses was established, and in the 1950s the Peak District become the UK's first National Park.
Today's hike is going to be the Kinder Scout circular. As well as being a classic Peak District walk and taking in the highest point in Derbyshire, it's also the birthplace of the right to roam and the National Park system in the UK, due to a historical act of mass disobedience.
One of the walks I have wanted to do for some time is the Kinder Scout via Jacob's Ladder and yesterday we ticked that off the list ✅
Stunning views throughout the entire 4 hour walk 📷
