- Head south down to Kinder Low, pass Edale Rocks, and descend down Jacobs Ladder.
- Pass over the bridge and follow the track until reaching Upper Booth.
- Turn left and head through Upper Booth taking the footpath from the back of the farm.
- Continue to a ascend, passing Broadlee-Bank Tor on the left.
- The path eventually descends on the home stretch back to Edale.
