Challenging route with lots of fab views. My first time on the dragon's back. Parkhouse Hill was a bit too scary for me! Was regretting my choices for a while there clinging to the near-vertical rocks with my fingers but made it through 😅 Serves me right for not doing my research beforehand. You are all braver than me I'm sure, but I'd avoid this and High Wheeldon if it is at all wet and slippy. Lovely honesty shop at Hollinsclough open 7.30 - 7.30 daily. Has ice creams, bean to cup coffee machine and a card reader in case you are short of cash!
This is a brilliant hike, a decent level of fitness definitely required !!
GPS decided to not work until we were a few miles in!
I'd highly recommend this hike I really enjoyed it and the weather was just right so you could see for miles. There are some really steep bits so I would recommend caution because things could get really slippery on the limestone if it's rained recently. I also came across the two lookout posts to do with the old Harper Hill RAF station. 🙂🚶
Tough 9 mile circular taking in High Wheeldon, Parkhouse Hill, Chrome Hill and Hollins Hill. Recomend the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub for food afterwards, superd 😋
Great walk from lovely sunshine into thick dense fog
Not dog friendly due to restrictions in certain areas
Absolutely an amazing walk and loved every single second of it!!! Challenging, muddy, slippy, boggy, foggy. Most of all breathtaking in more ways than one!!! Would highly recommend to anybody. 😊👍❤️
