Overview

From the car park we make our way along the Six Dales Way footpath to the village of Padside. After crossing several fields we then turn off and after a short road walk head over Braithwaite Moor until we reach the Pateley Bridge road . We then continue on over Hoodsworth Allotments and Rabbits Crag to reach Brays Croft farm then onto the west side of Thruscross Reservoir and back to the car park. A lunch stop will be made at a convenient spot along the route.
