10.00 am Start from Werneth Low Quarry CP on Werneth Low Road. 5 miles 806 ft ascent (OS Maps) Easy/Moderate. NB Postcode takes you to Hyde Cricket and Squash Club on Werneth Low Road (which is about 300 metres from the CP). What 3 words takes you directly to carpark. You will approach via Joel Lane from Gee Cross. At the top of Joel Lane is a bench and a red telephone box/defibrillator. Turn left here on to Werneth Low Road and the CP is immediately on the right. (Hyde Cricket and Squash Club is right at the telephone box).
There are some lovely views on this walk. Note some of the footpaths are quite narrow and overgrown (mainly with Himalayan Balsam). There are 5 wooden stiles on this walk, although one is next to a gate which can probably be opened but was too stiff for me! There is some road walking on quiet roads. Coffee stop is at Etherow Country Park (benches and toilets). Route available to download on ECR Website: Needham’s Farm, Beacon Houses, Campville Farm, Compstall, Etherow Country Park CP, Redbrow Wood, Romiley Golf Course, Far Benfield, Near Cloughside and back to the CP.
Main ascent is in Redbrow Wood and Near Cloughside but we will take our time and bring poles if you use them. We should be back before 1.00pm. Please bring snack and drink for coffee break.
