There are many paths to stroll along on and around Winter Hill. Some are shown on the Ordnance Survey maps, some are not. Today’s walk covered some of each as Brett, Sam and I spent a very enjoyable five miles and four hours of moorland meanderings.

All the old articles are here for you to ramble around, and soon I hope to add more so keep coming back to see how we’re getting on.
