Overview

Undulating walk including is a steepish hill going from the bottom of Thornhill edge up to Wakefield Rd but otherwise the hills are either short or gradual. After lunch it is all downhill or level so there is a good incentive.

We will have a coffee break after 1.5 miles and lunch after about 4 miles.

The only loos are at Horticentre on Wakefield Road but there is plenty of countryside.

There are no stiles on the route and the tracks/paths are reasonable.
