Distance: 13 mls
Total Ascent/descent: 1980ft app
This is a classic moorland walk, with great views to all horizons
(weather permitting), several reservoirs, a lengthy section of the Pennine Way
and some ‘interesting’ bits like half a mile of shoulder-high ferns and the
occasional bit of boggy ground. We also pass Top Withens, the (now
abandoned) farmhouse reputed to be Emily Bronte’s inspiration for Wuthering
Heights. It’s a fairly tough walk, by distance rather than climbing,
though there are one or two steep bits. We shall need to keep up a brisk
pace, and also keep close together towards the end of the walk where navigation
is challenging.
