C Walk
Leader:          Norman Jones
Distance:       6.5 miles
Height Gain:  400ft
 
After refreshments, it's a short lakeside walk to pass by the Visitor Centre, then a path through woods and alongside a stream. The path climbs upwards passing a golf course and joins the Rochdale Way bridle path. We go south for a little over two miles on the lower part of Clegg Moor.   

A footbridge enables us to cross the M62 motorway without everyone holding hands and making a dash for it! The route then winds generally downwards and turns to take us back under a motorway viaduct for our return to the lakeside road and refreshments.

In general the paths are not too bad, but may be muddy and slippery on the gradients. there are extensive views from the moor, weather permitting.
