Although this walk is only 7.5 miles, it packs a rather large punch as we climb to the summit of Pots & Pans and the War Memorial there.
The way up is steep and rocky underfoot, but the rewards are provided by excellent views in all directions.
We then proceed across moorland before descending to Uppermill, following the Huddersfield Narrow Canal back to Greenfield.
Good footwear / walking boots are required.
A good degree of fitness is required for the ascent and the walk is not suitable for beginners.
