Guide to scrambling Rimmon Pit Clough under Saddleworth Moor in the north-west Peak District. Summary verdict: a reasonable short and simple 0.5-grade scramble for a clough-scrambling novice
• Route in: park on A635 Saddleworth Moor small car park and walk/clamber down Rimmon Pit Clough (or for a longer but easier walk in, park at Binn Green on the A635 and walk up past Yeoman Hey and Greenfield Reservoirs and then Greenfield Brook)
• Start point: the clough starts at OS ref SE 04124 05241
• Grading: a reasonable mix of pools, boulders, mossy slabs and cascades; nothing more than grade 0.5
• Warning: during the season (roughly autumn and winter), there might be shooting from the grouse butts that run to the east of the route from the A635 into the clough
• End point: where the clough opens up a little around OS ref SE 04195 05439
• Route out: retrace the path in, back to the Saddleworth Moor car park
• Time: about 25 mins from CP to start point; then 30 mins up Rimmon Pit Clough; then about 20 mins to walk back (add another 40 mins each way if parked at Binn Green)
• Combine with: Birchen Clough or Holme Clough
• Gear: pools are up to waist-deep so wetsuit on a cold day; other gear not needed
• Verdict: one to avoid when conditions are wet as rocks get slippery but in dry weather it’s short, moderately steep, and a decent grade 0.5 for a beginner. Arguably better than Holme Clough for a beginner
• Category: Introductory
• Score: 6.5/10
