Trespass Trail 4 - Little Hayfield
4. Little Hayfield was another favourite Easter or Whitweek camp in the early 1930s for the British Workers’ Sports Federation, which was responsible for introducing many young urban people to the pleasures of the Peak District countryside.
Cross the A624 Glossop Road. The Lantern Pike pub is a welcome diversion to the left, but the Trail crosses this busy road into the National Trust woodland of the Park Hall estate. Double-decker buses used to come loaded with passengers from Manchester to the now closed and abandoned outdoor swimming pool here.
About 400 yards after leaving the main road, take the path climbing in an easterly direction on to Middle Moor. The Snake Path joins the track as it starts to level out (SK 046881). As Kinder Reservoir comes into view with the shooting cabin on your left, stay on the higher path running level above the reservoir.
