Overview

A steady climb up out of Greenfield towards the golf course, then up (again) into the wonderful Moorgate Quarry. Fantastic views. Short rough climb up to Quarry Top. Down and then along to the Lime Kiln. Returning up the other side of the valley, back along the Pennine Bridleway. Strenuous but a slow pace.
