Overview

 

Please contact the leader to join the walk, this helps the leader and provides your contact details in case of late change. If then you are unable to attend, please cancel with leader (phone or text) so they are not waiting for you. Thank you. 

From Whaley car park we will go into the park and look at the progress made on the dam. We then go up the Shallcross Incline to Ladder Hill,  around the hill and down to Combes Reservoir along the side then up to Eccles Lane and back via the cricket club.
