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 the 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 descent 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.
