The walk starts with a steep uphill section from the railway station and continues gradually for another two miles. We then continue on good paths and bridleways, making our way over the moors until we reach Watergrove Reservoir. We then follow the Pennine Bridleway before eventually reaching Shore and the outskirts of Littlebrough.
Some paths are wet and muddy and boots are a must.
A moderate degree of fitness is required for this walk.
