Overview

For the first part of the walk we are on mainly good paths with very few inclines as we take in parts of the Kirklees Trail and Tottington lines.  We are walking into Tottington village where there will be a lunch stop and then heading up to Holly Mount and back down to Greenmount.  There are a couple of inclines and 2-3 stiles in the second part of the walk.
