Overview

I have not walked this route before.  Google Maps is good for viewing the parts of the route that use roads - many of the signposts seen on Google Maps are labelled Worth Way.  Some time spent navigating may be required.

Please take time to read the route description on the PDF which can be found via the following link.  Some of the route is described as steep.

We may make a short detour to Oxenhope station.

Sunset should be around 4.30pm.  Please bring a working torch, in case it is needed near the end of the walk.
