Hoping to do a extended trip around the Dark Peaks area, probably 4-5 days. What points of interest do folks suggest in the Kinder, Derwent/Howden Moors and Bleaklow Moor areas? Epic cloughs, mysterious stones and dramatic vista's all accepted!
Dark Peaks (Derbyshire)

Certainly cross Kinder. It's quite navigationallly satisfying for the Gates to appear out of the mist when expected.
Kinder Downfall is worth seeing - a waterfall that blows upwards in certain windy conditions.
There is (or was) the relics of a crashed wartime Consolidated Liberator on Mill Hill - you could still see wings and engines when I was up there last. In fact there are numerous aircraft crash sites in the area, though often little to see now.
Mam Tor and the landslip.

Kinder Downfall is on the list, as is Mermaids Pool just down from it.
I've heard of the remains of wartime planes up there, I'll do some research on Mill Hill - cheers.

The Aircraft wrecks are well documented on the Web and in books , I spent many a day on bleaklow/Kinder and surrounds as a teenager "Ghost Hunting" as we called it , certainly hones your micro nav skills , can be a bit eerie though 
oh and they arnt all wartime planes either

A walking trip to several crash sites would be a good expedition, and if done without GPS would be a good navigation exercise.
