Join Kirsten, her dog Tryfan and I for a walk up Kinder Scout from Hayfield up to Cluther Rocks. Hear about Kirsten’s interest in archaeology and folklore, her book inspired by the Peak District, and what makes her wild about Kinder.I spontaneously recorded half of this interview while we were walking uphill together. Hopefully this means you’ll feel more immersed in the experience by listening to the river, our footsteps in the squelch, and a natural flow of conversation. I wanted to capture Kirsten’s vibrant, fun energy and playfulness with her dog while we walked, and the moment that she found the Dog Stone.Kirsten Amor is a Sheffield-based writer, editor, and photographer obsessed with nature, history, and adventure sports. ​She is a former archaeologist and lifetime climber, hiker, and runner.
