Edale Peak District National Park Kinder Scout Hiking Experiences

today i woke up at 6.35am.
well, i was quite surprise that i am able to wake up automatically without setting alarm although i had slept late yesterday due to some "emo+lonely song" feelings.
frankly speaking, i did feel a bit "frustrated" before writing this "Edale Peak District National Park Kinder Scout Hiking Experiences" blog post because it has been delayed as i just depend on my phone's note when i start to write at Tuesday (27th August 2013) in the morning.
however, when i think about that i am writing for myself as i would like to "store" it as a memory so that i can view back in future, it just make me feel to write again.
in fact, there was so much of question running in my head when deciding to write or not to write such as "does it really necessary to continue expressing yourself using blog" but yet i still end up writing again. (=.=)

actually i had been influence by my sister's advice when she say that "only a free person that don't have anything better to do can be so FREE thinking so much and spend time on blogging" because it was a waste of time and i did really feel "butthurt" as i knew what she say was quite right and myself do understand that it is hard to keep the keep up the pace and i will let go this all things one day. (so why i still doing it?)
anyways, there is a latest solution to solve this problem which is Google Glass that can store everything that you see from your eyes.
after i woke up, i just have my last cereal cornflake as my breakfast and cook some tortilla warp with hot dog sausage to bring to the Kinder Scout hiking mountain as my lunch.
around 8.40am we make a move from hostel and walked to the Sheffield Railway station after all people had gathered at downstair.

besides, the information that i get was from our friend which is also the organizer from this trip together with the schedule planned as shown below.

at first we went to buy the train ticket for £7.90 from the railway station machine but it couldn't be process and we just buy from the counter as shown below.
somehow i don't really know about the Manchester Piccadilly travel to Edale as we just see from the board and just know we need to wait at platform 2C as below.
well, the train was very punctual when it make a move at the exact departure time which is 9.20am and it would took about 34 minutes to reach Edale, Derbyshire S33 from Sheffield station as below.
during the moment at the train, there was a ticket inspector to check our train ticket and below was some picture i took along the way when we pass by Hope staion, Castleton and Caverns and finally reach Edale, Kinder Scout, The Pennine Way and The Moorland Centre at 10am.
moreover, the weather was quite cold when we arrive there before start to climb the mountain.

after that, we walk to the Edale's Peak District National Park visitor centre to get some information since we don't know much thing as shown below.
then i bought a fridge magnet souvenir for £1.50 from the shop there.
somehow we had spend about 1 hour for all person to finish go to the toilet because there was only 1 toilet for both male and female before we start our hiking journey to Kinder Scout mountain.
well, we seems to walk the wrong way at first but manage to walk from the Grindsbook starting point after passing the Old Nags Head hikers bars and below was some picture i took along the way.
 seriously the road was full of goat, sheep, horse and other animal "shxt" (animal dispose material) and i can guarantee you will definitely step into one of those "shxt" along the way.
in fact, i was not feeling comfortable throughout the whole trip when i keep avoiding those "shxt".

as i walked more, my leg's started to pain because i seldom exercise.
somehow i don't really remember what time we arrived to the peak of the Kinder Scout mountain and we just rest there while having our lunch near the huge stone rock as shown below.
after taking some pictures, we start to make a move again and reach the stone statue together with some picture i took along the way as shown below.
moreover, i don't know what is the "black brown substance" that we step on because it just feel like stepping "shxt" all over the place as below.
around 4.30pm we start to make a move walk down back from the mountain and there was 3 ways to go back but we had chosen a path from few of the foreigner that pass by.
in the end, we had split into three group that walk different path.

as for the middle route that we had chosen, it seems that there was full of rocks and very dangerous.
in fact, i was slipped a few time when my leg keep "shaking" since we had been walking for almost 8 hours+ from the morning.
however, it would be my "once in a lifetime" journey to walk so much and below was some picture i took along the way for our dangerous route.
well, there was a plant that having a "needle" had injured a friend's finger when she accidentally holding and we just stack it with some rock to prevent other's people from getting hurt as shown below.
finally i arrived the ending point at 6.40pm and below was the journey i walk through before reaching there.
moreover, i do feel that i had achieved something quite special although most of the scenery was just like plant, flower, rocks and other nature views.

then i just walk up to the meet up point which is Peak District National Park centre to wait for other friend.
somehow we just realized that there was a toilet behind the building and no need wait 1 hour+ like what we faced this morning as below.
on the other hand, i do have some "recalling back memory feelings" when saw some new friend that having the similar personality and looks like my last year college classmate.
well, i just can say no one would really understand this kind of "gap" feeling because it can't be explained into words if you did not encounter the similar things that i faced on my past.
besides, i do feel that people who is beautiful or handsome would be getting more attention from others people as human nature was to look for something nice right?
seriously i don't really know why i having such a low confidence about my own "face problem" look.

anyways, we waited at the Rambler Inn as below because our train would be arrive at 8.30pm.
overall my advice for this journey would be don't bring so much water unless you want to "pee" in the mountain, try to walk in a group of people, rest a while if feel tired, take care of your return railway train ticket well and enjoy every single moment.
the reason i said take care of your return train ticket well because i had lost in the middle on my way.
in addition, i just make a short video for each small part of my journey as shown below or the link >>> Here.
around the 8.35pm the train arrived and i was lucky that there is no one check our ticket because i had lost although a friend had gave me one of his ticket since we had a two ticket for go and return this morning.
finally i arrived back Sheffield train station at 9.10pm as shown below.
then we walked back home and i reach my hostel at 9.30pm.

after taken my bath, i went to my friend house to have dinner since we had ordered some Chino's Kebab.
suddenly an "argument incident" happened and i was totally stunned in the middle of there because of a very very small problem that can really "laugh die me" if being said out here.
well, i think it was probably because everyone is tired and suddenly "human anger fire" had came out suddenly as both party also got their wrong in my honest opinion.
after they walk away, i just have some chat with a friend about something.
honestly, i do feel a little not happy when being "backstab" in some ways and dislike people who know me talk about my past to other new friend i met.
somehow i start to wonder whether the "two headed personality" (两头蛇) thing is true or not.
besides, i feel it was right that we should do the thing we like most and pursue from there onwards but i seems to be having not much skill other than whining writing.
finally i arrived back home at 12.05am and the night incident of our dinner really spoil my mood for today as i was standing in the neutral position.
however, if we always talk about positive thing or happy thing and less use bad vulgar word, i think it would help to have better attitude and personality in some ways.
