Overview

Route: Gradual ascent from reservoir to Gritstone Trail via Stilesmeadow Farm, 717 ft of ascent. Follow Trail along ridge to Croker Hill Radio Tower and then descend back to reservoir and walk along side reservoir for about a mile back to starting point. There are excellent views for most of the walk. (This is similar to a walk Rosie used to lead but in reverse.) Whilst only 6 miles in length this walk will take some time because of the climb and descent.
