Overview

Leaving the car park heading north along the Staffordshire Way to join the Gritstone Trail which we follow onto Bosley Minn. Relatively flat for the first 3 miles before steadily climbing onto Bosley Minn for far reaching views over the Cheshire plain to the west and into the Peak District to the east. Descending down to Wincle and returning along the Dane Valley Way. Mainly field and woodland paths and tracks with some quiet lanes. Mainly kissing gates with only a few stiles.
