I have saved this walk for public consumption. Anyone can follow the route using the OS app,

providing you have a registered account (Free) in future.

It was a glorious day for the walk and the 6 intrepid explorers set off to follow the route walked last August. The walk was pretty uneventful apart from the biting wind once approached Black Edge.

And, as last time, there is a steep drop down from the Moss which tests the knees. Once down a quick walk back on the road and we were back at the pub to be joined by Jock, Kieran and Milly.

Next week’s walk will be led by Russell, Start time 9.40am at the Anglers Rest in Bamford, S33 0DY.

There is parking in the pub car park were allowed to use. We just need to let them know. The route

is similar to one walked in April last year. https://wwanderers.blogspot.com/2025/04/blogpost.html

Hopefully returning to the pub for approximately 1.30-2.00pm.

Happy Wandering!
