10.00 am start in Chinley on Buxton Road. Free parking on Buxton Road near the junctions with Alder Brook/Alders Lane. We are walking up to Green Lane, so you can wait at the junction of Buxton Road and Green Lane if you come by train. This walk is Moderate 8.25 miles, 1619ft ascent. The initial ascent is quite steep and up the quiet roads Stubbins Lane and Over Hill Road before heading North on the moors towards Hills Farm and East to Peep O’Day. We skirt Mount Famine and go over South Head (or just walk round the base). We follow the path to Shireoaks, Breckhead, White Knowle Farm and back to the start. There are lovely views on this walk. Most of the route is good underfoot but there may be mud towards the end if it has rained. There is one public toilet in Chinley on Green Lane between Lower Lane and Derwent Drive. There is a railway station in Chinley within walking distance of the start. Bring food and drink for a coffee and lunch stops. Lifts available from the Handforth area. Contact Melanie 07854 093785.
