Overview

We walk on woodland paths and forestry tracks, and visit Dancing Green and the Hope Mansell valley. A couple of steady climbs and stiles.

Parking on hard standing, but space is limited. Please car share if possible and inform me (text 07580758908 for booking) so I know how many cars to expect.

Bring MMS (mid morning snack!).

Suitable footwear required.
