Overview

From  the car park in Rushton Spencer near The Knot Inn to the River Dane (avoiding the nasty route along the feeder), then up and over Bosley Minn before a low level route to the east of Croker Hill. Then up and over Croker Hill before dropping down again to cross the Dane again near Gig Hall. Across the fields past Hollinhall to Rushton Spencer.

An interesting route that crosses itself twice, with good views from Bosley Minn in the morning and Sutton Mast in the afternoon.
