Overview

Although this is quite a short walk, this is Bollington so there are quite a few hills and there are several stiles, so you will get plenty of exercise. However, there are some lovely views so it is well worth the effort. We will take the hills slowly and ensure everyone has time to recover. There is a bit of mud in places and poles are recommended. Route: Mill Lane, Ingersley Vale, Gritstone Trail, Oakenbank Lane, Kiskhill Lane, Jumper Lane, cross Blaze Hill, Further Harrop Farm, Harrop Wood, Berristall Dale, Spuley Lane, return to Poachers.
