Overview

Area long walk. 

From Glossop station to Glossop brook and up onto some footpaths heading towards Lane Ends Farm and onto Shaw Moor, Worm Stones, Harry Hut and Mill Hill.  Here we will join the Pennine Way until reaching Doctors Gate which we will descent back to the station via Manor park.
It is 11 miles with 2077ft ascent.  Some reasonable paths, some paths that need concentration and expect some boggy bits.  About 8 stiles, only 1 a bit difficult.

The walks will invariably involve ascent and descent, some of which may be steep. They will usually, depending on the weather, be soft and/or muddy, sometimes with ill defined tracks across fields or moorland - ensure you have appropriate footwear. Please consider your personal fitness and ability before attending the walk - if you're not sure, feel free to contact us for advice on the potential conditions, whilst the leader will base the walk on their own ability and may issue instructions where appropriate, you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Please wear appropriate clothing for the prevailing weather, plan for the worst and hope for the best, bring any essentials and lunch.
