Join Stockport Walking and Outdoor group for our regular Sunday walk. There are usually between 10 and 20 of us and you will be made most welcome. Details below:-
Hi All,
It is my 10 mile walk on 1st December at Longstone Moor, the walk starts from outside the Bulls Head pub in Foolow at 9.45am, postcode S325QR, W3W prettiest.reds.convert
There is free parking on the roads near the Bulls Head Pub.
I have decided to change the Meeting time at Hazel Grove park & ride to 8.45am ready to depart at 9.00am to allow for the shorter days, if you are going direct can you please let me know.
The walk starts from Foolow heading south / west across fields to Stanley Lodge then south to Wardlow Mires where we walk west down Cressbrook Dale, around Peters Stone, then south to where we have a steep ascent out of the dale in a south / east direction to the top of the dale at 291m, here we get on a path that takes us east to Wardlow. Here we head south past Hall Farm to a path across fields south east then south across Longstone Moor to Great Longstone. We then have a steep ascent across fields heading north east to an height of 351m on Longstone Edge, we then have a descent down to 282m at Black Harry Gate,. We then walk west around the reservoir then north across open fields to Housley House then Foolow.
Total ascent 441m
I would recommend bringing Gaiters & walking poles as it could be muddy. Also a packed lunch and a drink.
Post walk drinks will be at the Bulls Head Pub in Foolow.
Hope to see some of you there,
Steve
