Some short and steep inclines need a careful pace but are suitable for moderate fitness levels. Similarly some parts of the route may encounter stiles, some muddy patches and narrow, occasionally uneven steps so good footwear and perhaps walking poles to aid balance are suggested.

Bring a packed lunch and drink to enjoy in the open air. Refreshments are available in the village before and after the walk but none on the walk route itself.

Dogs MUST be kept on a lead in accordance with Kirklees Council restrictions on sensitive moorland as this is a protected area of conservation.

We meet outside The Silent Woman pub on Nabb Lane. Car parking is limited in the village, although there is a small carpark just below the meeting point, so carsharing or public transport via bus or train might be a recommended alternative.
