Ever found yourself mid-hike wondering why the hill you're struggling up is called Dodd? Or what that sheep who is currently fleeing your presence in a blind panic is called?

The answers to all those things, and several others you didn't know you needed to know, are right here. Welcome to TrailTrack's Guides.

Mam Tor from Mam Nick Car Park

A short, steep 1.4 km out-and-back from Mam Nick to Mam Tor’s 517 m summit, gaining 88 m on a stone-pitched path. Big Hope Valley and Edale views make this a rewarding quick walk, but the exposed top and wet steps still deserve care.
