Story
Not a playground for the adrenalin addict , or a challenge for those who value the moors solely as an adventure course extension of a gym . But anyone with a yen for history , subtle geological differences , ecology and rarer fauna will find much of interest . Big Moor is true moorland , in many ways more fascinating than the higher spreads to the north , and despite the proximity of major traffic routes , isolation and quietness are easily found . So also are bogs , purple moor-grass tussocks , potentially tricky stream crossings , and bad weather navigational problems too , so you have been warned .There are no easy paths between Curbar/Froggatt and White Edges on the return leg .The choice is usually between very wet low ground , and less wet but more arduous going on the higher ground .
The moor is home to an important adder population .
