I last did this walk on 04.06.22, so some time spent navigating may be required. The route covers fields and woods, some roads, there is ascent and descent on the route.
Possibility of mid-walk drinks (and to use their toilets).

We will pass the pub twice, once on the way to Castle Hill, once on the way back. If we stop at the pub, it will be on the way back from Castle Hill.
The walk finish time allows for a longer break at Victoria Tower, and a longer break at the pub.
There is a bus from Huddersfield to Highburton.
There is roadside parking on Highfield Road. Please park considerately. There is housing on one side of the road, park on the opposite side, it is a wide road.
Meet at Highburton Cross, on the corner of Hall Lane and Far Dene / Town Gate.
