Area long walk. Distances are generally 9-10 miles unless specified.
A familiar route, up, across then down. From Greenfield station, past Goblin Manor and along the canal to Brownhill Countryside Centre and toilets. Then steeply up to Slades Rocks via St Chad's in Pob Green. Level along the edge to Aldermans Brow with great views over Saddleworth Moor then of Greenfield, Yeoman Hey and Dovestones reservoirs. Across to Pots&Pans then downhill all the way to Greenfield station, via Binns Green, Dovestones reservoir and toilets, Bradbury Lane, Fernlee, river Tame. 9.5 miles, elevation 1506ft.
No booking required, although we do ask that everyone carries an ICE card - we can supply if needed.
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.
