We all met up at Cubley Hall, the start and finish of the 16 mile walk. Cubley Hall is situated on the outskirts of the town so straight away we were into the countryside. Apart from a short stretch of urban road walking through Springvale the rest of the walk is on minor roads, country lanes and footpaths.
Leaving town......
....into the countryside.
Being around Penistone the walk has plenty of ups and downs but is never too arduous. It skirts round between Silkstone and Thurgoland to Gunthwaite dam, back up to Scout Dyke then over to the viewpoint at Royd Moor, then through Bullhouse and up to Hartcliff Hill before dropping back down to Cubley Hall.
Route finding difficulties at Gadding Moor
The walk goes through a varied landscape from woodlands and arable fields to moorland edge pastures and finishes at a pub which sells real ale. What more can you ask from a walk?
