Overview

Salford Trail Walk 5 Roe Green to Walkden. 

Initially on footpaths through woods, then an old colliery lane through open fields to join an former railway track passing Blackleach Reservoir (lunch). It's possible to leave the walk near here at the 37 bus stop.

Then across Ashton Fields, the site of an old colliery, to join a loopline back to Walkden station. No 20 bus stop and station.
Leader will walk back to the start, about 1.5 km.
