Overview

 

100:00 am start, 8.5 miles (13.7 km), Moderate Grade      Adlington Road Car Park, Bollington, SK10 5HG,
SJ931780 Lat/Lng 53.2993,-2.10544

Twin Peaks Bollington walk includes reaching the trig points of the two hills overlooking Bollington - The Nab (935ft/285m) and Kerridge Hill (1027ft/313m) with White Nancy monument the most prominent feature. Some of the walk is on short sections of named trails, such as the Gritstone Trail; the Middlewood Way and the Macclesfield Canal, the rest of the walk is on public footpaths with a minimal amount of roadside walking.

This is essentially a repeat of the walk I led in February except that access to the free Adlington Road Car Park, closed for bridge repairs in February, has been restored allowing for a small change in the route further minimising roadside walking.

 (Apologies to those expecting a walk on Kinder. Following a third recce I have decided that the route I intended to use is not suitable - safety concerns).

Bolly is best, bring food and drink. Any queries please email John at jglynn.boll@hotmail.co.uk
