Overview

Starting off from Saltaire we will  walk through Robert's Park, Shipley Glen to reach the top.   Once we are on top   we will   then follow  Dales High Way &  Millennium Way  to Birch Close Lane. We will then  continue on to Sconce Lane.  Cross over to  Baildon and return to Saltaire via Welcome Way, Baildon Hill on to Baildon Moor passing the trig point as we go.  A sharp decent brings us back to  Shipley Glen and finishing with a small section on the canal. A mixture of terrain  and we do walk through some bracken  so poles may be helpful.
