Overview

10 am start. Park at Rudyard Lake station car park. ST13 8PE/ SJ95565787, ///reclining.nerd.jumps or if full you can park along the road.
Easy circular walk around Rudyard lake with an extension incorporating the Gritstone trail and Rushton. A few gentle moderate climbs (total ascent is 631 ft using OS app) and just a couple of stiles. It is likely to be muddy along the Gritstone trail so gaiters and poles might be a good idea if you have them. Nice views around the lake and there is a good café at the end. Based on the recce we should finish around 2.30 to 2.45 pm.
Please bring a packed lunch and any questions please contact Anne on 07853497490.
