Overview

From Rushton Spencer CP we follow the Staffordshire Way and make our way up to The Cloud.  Then we follow in a generally southward direction to Gosberryhole Lane, Dial Lane, Newtown and  Lower Heath Hay.  Then we turn east towards Rudyard Reservoir, via Beckfields Farm, Leonard's Farm, Coney Greave and Dairy House Bank.  At Rudyard Reservoir we pick up the Staffordshire Way again and follow it back to Rushton Spencer CP.

Inevitably there will be some muddy sections unless the ground is frozen solid.
Please bring packed lunch, drinks and snacks for morning and afternoon breaks.
Sorry no dogs.
