Overview

From the car park we walk alongside Hury Reservoir on the South sidethen Blackton Reservoir on the North side stopping for coffee on route. We take the path at Hannah's Meadow (where hopefully we'll see some wild flowers) to High Birk Hat. We then head south to Blackton Bridge and take the Pennine Way path over Cotherstone Moor and back to West Briscoe
