We are the Greater Manchester & High Peak Area Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Area long walk. From the station, we walk through the town to reach Arnfield Reservoir, then around the water to follow the tracks briefly hitting Hollingworth before the climbing starts proper as we head to Wild Bank Hill. Then it's across the moor until we reach the PBW and turn to pass through Tintwistle, briefly walk alongside Bottoms Reservoir before we head back to the station. Between 10.7 & 11.8 miles and ~1800'ascent depending at which GPS app you're using.
No booking required, although we do ask that everyone carries an ICE card - we can supply if needed.
The walks will invariably involve ascent and descent, some of which may be steep. They will usually, depending on the weather, be soft and/or muddy, sometimes with ill defined tracks across fields or moorland - ensure you have appropriate footwear. Please consider your personal fitness and ability before attending the walk - if you're not sure, feel free to contact us for advice on the potential conditions, whilst the leader will base the walk on their own ability and may issue instructions where appropriate, you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Please wear appropriate clothing for the prevailing weather, plan for the worst and hope for the best, bring any essentials and lunch.
