Overview

We cross Otterspool Rd at a pedestrian crossing & turn into Mill Lane.  We pass Stockport Hydro  & continue on this good track through 2 farm yards. We turn off here & cross 2 fields. We then enter a path which will be muddy in places .  We walk through houses to the main road of Hatherlow.  We cross at The Spread Eagle pub and up steps to the tow path. We follow the canal until turning off onto the Goyt Valley Way. Through trees and down steps to Chadkirk Chapel. Follow the river back to cp.
OK for dogs.
