Overview

Mainly traversing fields, country paths and farm tracks, it heads north to the M65 motorway, returns through the reservoirs, across the A675 and around the quarry back to the start. The route undulates a lot but gives good views over various local hills on the way. Much of the route follows stretches of the Witton Weaver Way. I recommend having legs loosely covered due to stretches of long undergrowth.
