| Comments: | Three attended this walk. We climbed steeply out of Hebden Bridge up onto Heptonstall Moor following the Pennine way to Walshaw Dean Reservoirs. The noticeable difference from our last visit here this year was the flowering rhododendrons which were in full colour. We then cut back south following Dean Gate track over the moors then dropped down into Hebden Water valley which we followed back to Hebden Bridge. | ||
