Full description: 

Get your legs pumping up Win Hill! We will start off at Heatherdene car park just outside the toilets. From there we will walk down past the reservoir and follow a steep ascent up to the top of Win Hill via Parkin Clough. This will include the full ascent of the walk (don't worry, we will take breaks on the way up if needed). Once at the top it's a relaxed walk down towards Wooler Knoll and through the woodland. We will then follow along the reservoir and cross the Ladybower dam back to the car park.

Please note that due to the steep ascent and fast pace, this walk requires a good level of fitness. It'll likely be quite windy at the top, so make sure to pack an extra layer.

Public transport or car sharing options: 

The 257b bus stops just up the road from the car park. If you’re planning on driving, please arrange car shares in the Meetup comments. I can take 3 people so that's first come first serve.
