We will set off at 11am along Brabyns Brow to the canal path to Strawberry Hill where we will stop for a break at around 12ish. We then cross the railway line onto the Cown Edge Way. Mellor Church will be our venue for lunch where our short climb will be rewarded with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. After lunch we will stroll through Mellor Hall, onto Hollywood End where we start our return journey via Mill Brow where, time permitting, we will have our afternoon break.
