Overview

We start at Danebridge and follow the usual route to Hangingstone Farm. We ascend steeply by the hanging stone onto the ridge. Forking left we take the path to Lud's Church. Passing through the rock formations we then head down through Forest Wood towards Gradbach. When we meet the Dane Valley Way, we turn left and follow it all the way back to the cars.

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.
