Overview

Start time 10:30 = estimated finish for the whole walk 15:45

5 or 11 miles. 2455 ft ascent for the 11 mile version.

This walk will be split into a two part walk, the first part going from Barley car park and taking the main route, via the steps, to the trig point before making our way back down via Bore Clough. Some steep sections on the way down as we drop down to the river Ogden. We will pass by upper Ogden and when we get to lower Ogden the group will split, with those who are only doing 5 miles taking the track back to the village and those doing the 11 miles will go around the back of lower Ogden and then make the way back up through Fell wood, on to Driver Height and Spence Moor (all the time climbing) and making our way to Deerstones, Badger Hill and Ogden's Clough; making the way back to the trig point. We will then follow the track that curves down the hill and when we get back to the start of the steps we will make our way along the tracks and paths to Barley Lane back to the car park.
