Walk Description:

An 11 mile strenuous walk around Dobcross, Diggle & Delph

This is a training walk for the half marathon but everyone is welcome.

Starting from Delph we will head through woods towards Dobcross before turning uphill to the top of Lark Hill. We will then drop down to Uppermill before a short climb to Brown Hill before descending again and following the canal through Diggle. Here we have a steep climb up to Brun Clough before finally descending into Castleshaw Valley and following the paths across fields back to the cars.

We will be stopping for lunch at the 6-7 mile mark, so please bring food with you. You will also need to bring 2 litres of water to last you through the walk.
