GET THE GUIDE BOOK HERE: tinyurl.com/peakbaggingpeakdistrict 🌄 We took on the legendary Dragon's Back route in the Peak District! Can we climb all 5 Ethels in a single day?
We attempted the ultimate Peak Bagging Challenge: tackling the toughest ridge line in the Peak District, Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill, and trying to tick off 5 Ethels (hills/moors) from Anna Paxton's new guide book. We found out quickly that the Dragon's Back lives up to its name—it's slippery, steep, and seriously tests your endurance. Watch to see how many we managed to bag before sunset!
