Kinder Scout Perseids Meteor Shower with Hot Chocolate & Cookies
Highlights
The annual Perseids Meteor Shower is one of the best to observe with up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak.
Produced by comet Swift-Tuttle, discovered in 1862, the Perseids are famous for producing a large number of bright meteors.
Our walk is timed to coincide with the peak frequency.
At a relaxed pace we trek up to the Kinder Plateau, enjoying sunset views along the way. Savouring views from Peak District's highest mountain we find sheltered spot and your guides will serve hot chocolate, coffee, tea and cookies. We settle down to watch the show, visible with the naked eye, most of the meteors coming from direction of the Perseus and Cassiopeia constellations. We then have a little more time for exploring before descending back to Hayfield.
REFRESHMENTS
Items will include a selection of cookies, treats, hot chocolate, tea, coffee, milk, sugar. Items may not be suitable for participants who follow more restricted diets such as vegan or have specific requirements. While packaged and prepared with care, we cannot guarantee that food is free from nuts, dairy, wheat, soy, shellfish or other allergens. If participants are in any doubt, we recommend bringing your own suitable food items. We fully support the Peak District PSPO in wildfire prevention. Hence all our hot drinks on the hill are provided from flasks

Custom Policy
Cancellations
I understand my booking includes a non-refundable deposit, 50% of the price paid per person for the event.
If I choose to cancel up to 28days before the event, I will be entitled to a refund of 50% price paid per person cancelling.
If cancelling less than 28days before the event, 100% of booking fee is due.
Substitutions
If I cannot attend an event, up to 24 hours before the event, I understand I may substitute another person to take my place.
But will inform Ranger Expeditions Ltd of this substitution. Ranger Expeditions Ltd are not party to any exchange of monies between the incoming and outgoing participant. As a condition of joining, the incoming participant must agree to the participation statement below.
Deferrals
We're sorry but we cannot accept deferrals to a later event. While we sympathise with participant's individual circumstances, we cannot indemnify against injury, illness or other unfortunate situations in private life prior to the event. The bottom line is that booking fees for a given event are already heavily invested very early in the planning process (e.g. booking guides, support team, advance payments for transport where used, insurance etc) Deferrals in effect cost us twice the amount in event costs – once for the event deferred from and once again for the event deferred to, which is not sustainable.
Insurance
If the ability to join is of concern to a participant, we recommend taking out personal cancellation insurance.
Legally, we cannot legally advise or guide you on cancellation policies or their details.
Participation Statement

I do not hold Ranger Expeditions Ltd., or any of its Directors, employees, support workers, volunteers or agents responsible for any damage or injury sustained to me, my property or any third-party injury caused by me during the event. I do not have any medical condition that would deem me as a medical risk during the event.
Our guarantee to you
Inclement weather is to be expected with hill walking and outdoor activities. And while we often enjoy blue skies and sunshine. We're not afraid of rain and wind can, which has been a feature of many memorable grand days out with a sense on achievement at the end.
However, if the event has to be cancelled in advance due to severe weather or countryside incidents such as foot and mouth, we offer a choice of:
1) Full refund
2) Transfer to a walk at a later date
3) Credit to the value of your payment to use on any of our other walks
