Overview

This is an easy walk with very little climb and quality paths (can be a little muddy in wet weather but only for small patches)

Starting at the Barlow Institute at 9:30 for a breakfast if you wish, or 11:00 for the walk. We will take the tracks and paths around the reservoirs and with a short stop at the Strawbury Duck then back to the walk.
