This walk uses the GM Ringway (stage 11) and includes a variety of countryside including panoramic hill views, woodland, open moors, reservoirs and a dramatic railway viaduct. There is over 2,000 ft of ascent and a fair amount of rough, hard surfaces and walkers will need to be able to maintain a steady pace in these conditions for around six hours, rewarded by seeing some areas around Greater Manchester that are not commonly visited on our walks.
