Apologies to anyone planning on coming on this walk but unfortunately most of our regular walkers are away or unable to walk that day. I'll reschedule later in the year
We are the Stockport Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ALTER THIS WALK TO A SLIGHTLY SHORTER ROUTE WITH LESS ASCENT. IF THIS IS A CONCERN PLEASE TEXT ME THE NIGHT BEFORE TO CHECK WHICH ROUTE I AM DOING
LONGER ROUTE -We will meet up at the Visitor centre near Trentabank, then walk through forest past Ridgegate Res, crossing Clarke Lane before climbing up to Teggs Nose. We briefly follow the Gritstone Trail before crossing Buxton New Rd to follow various paths towards Higher lane Farm, Wickinford Farm before reaching Lamaload. We then head back via Higher Ballgreave, Greenways and Chapel House farms. We return to the cars through Macc forest.
SHORTER ROUTE - Macc forest paths, skirt round Shuttlingsloe (option to climb), Wildboarclough, Lower Nabbs Farm, Oakenclough, Hadden Farm, Ridgegate reservoir. 9 miles 1560 ft ascent
As well as the pay and display car park there are usually parking spaces on the road nearby
