Overview

From Calton village, we walk north beside Cart Low to descend Soles Hollow and join the Manifold Way. After climbing out of the valley through Ladyside Wood up to Grindon, we walk south along Slade Lane to Waterfall before turning south east to cross the River Hamps for the final climb back up to Calton.

Walkers from other groups are always welcome, as are non-members wanting to sample walking with our friendly group of ramblers. Just turn up and make yourself known to the walk leader.

Please make sure you have an ICE (in Case of Emergency) card on you when out walking – you know it makes sense - if you don’t have one then ask the walk leader for one before the walk starts.

On our walks, we regret no dogs please UNLESS the walk is described as DOG FRIENDLY.
