Sunday 07 July 2024
10am

Alphin Pike
Meet at dead end layby at junction of A635 / B6175 , Friezland ( nr Greenfield). Limited parking so please share if possible. Postcode of Royal George pub nearby is OL3 7HX. Do not use pub car park.

Details:

Walk distance = 9 miles.

National Grade : Strenuous.

A strenuous walk bagging the summit of Alphin Pike ( c1600ft) , following Saddleworth Edges to Chew Reservoir and returning via a gentler lower level route. We will not visit Dovestone reservoir.

The route along Saddleworth Edges will be very boggy after rain.

Total ascent just under 2000 ft. Stunning views in good weather. Awkward underfoot in places.

Please note, that due to the popularity of these walks, car sharing whenever possible would reduce parking congestion.

Advise: Walking Boots, Waterproofs if needed, adequate clothing, snack and drink.

Generally dogs are not permitted, with exception of Registered Assistance Dogs, but anyone wishing to bring a dog should contact the Walk Leader in advance to obtain His/Her consent or otherwise.

They welcome new and potential members to join their walks.
