A Party Walk

Leader: Jenny Matthias
Distance: 10 miles
Total Ascent: 1543 ft

Leaving the car park, we travel south on the old railway line, which is now the Tame Valley Way, to Greenfield.

We join the Pennine Bridleway to the Oldham Way, climbing gently through sections of wood and open land to about 1000ft, eventually glimpsing a series of reservoirs which we drop down to and round, leaving and rejoining the Oldham Way, to ‘Pots and Pans’ at 1340 ft, before dropping down to the Tame Valley way and back to the bus.

Looking towards Dovestone Moss

Dovestone Reservoir, with our early ridge in the background.

This is not a difficult walk – but is long and a steady pace must be maintained.
