Calderdale's weather is notoriously unpredictable so make sure you have good footwear and suitable clothing for the forecast conditions.

Public transport is available along Burnley Road to Luddendenfoot, or along Luddenden Lane on the Midgley service. There is car parking available at the walk start with an honesty box so some change would be needed.

Dog owners please note that the walk crosses sensitive moorland for lambing and ground nesting birds. Dogs are required to be kept on a short lead at this time of year.

Meet at the Luddenden Lane carpark. This is well-used and limited in size so carsharing where possible, or public transport is suggested. Travel along Burnley Road by bus or car, then turn along Luddenden Lane at the junction by That's Amore restaurant. The carpark is just before the turn into Luddenden village on the right.
