Starting from The Bog car park, we climb up to the quartzite ridge of The Stiperstones, then travel south along the ridge towards Nipstone Rock and The Rock before dropping down for some forest bathing in a quiet wooded  valley beneath Pellrhadley Hill. Through the hidden hamlet of Nind we then climb up again onto Mucklewick Hill and travel north east towards Milk Hill, Grit Hill and Shelve Pool before returning across fields and along a lane to The Bog for some much needed refreshment.

This is a day walk, so we will stop for coffee and lunch on the way.  Bring snacks or sandwiches and plenty of fluid.  The ridge is rocky and can be difficult to walk on, and the woodland paths boggy and full of tree roots, so sturdy boots and poles are advised, but the views of all the surrounding hills (weather permitting) are spectaular .
