Overview

Start at  Fox Valley Retail Park (toilets and old steel works photos,  both upstairs). We then have a short  climb up to Hunshelf Park, a short road climb,  then undulating paths to Underbank Reservoir path and a slow walk up paths to Wind Hill Knoll, which will be split up by an early lunch on rocks followed by an  easy walk to Bolsterstone where we will have a short break. Finally, down the coffin trail back to Fox Valley bus stop.

Only one stile which is easy. Paths are mainly good. No tricky bits, but there may be an overgrown section after the rocks. 

The only shorter option is to walk to the bottom of a steep hill with us, then walk back to Unsliven Rd 57 terminus. Only 3+ miles or 4 miles to walk on road to bottom of Hole House Lane bus stop  where the 57a bus stops as well.
