Full description: 

Starting from Chinley, we head north up to the northern peak of Chinley Churn. We then descend about halfway to cross the road and continue up to the next 2 Ethels. It's then all we way down and south, crossing the A6 towards Eccles Pike, which marks the last ascent. From there, we walk back to the station in Chinley. We're aiming to finish before the sun sets and catch the 16:20 train. Don't forget to bring a packed lunch!

This will be a muddy or boggy walk (requiring sturdy walking boots).
