| Walk: | Wheelton, Heapey, alongside reservoirs, White Coppice, alongside the Goit, below Wheelton Plantation, Brinscall Hall | ||
| Start Point: | The Dressers Arms | Grid Reference: | SD 604212 |
| Distance: | 5.6 miles | Ascent: | 350 feet |
| Time: | 2.8 hours | ||
| Weather: | Showery initially but then stayed fine and became quite warm | ||
| Comments: | The fields were very soggy after heavy
overnight rain. After a steep climb early in the walk( up to Heapey)
much of the walk was along tracks and was easy walking. Coffee break
was at White Coppice cricket club – a very pretty venue with plenty
of benches, though unfortunately no toilet facilities open. The reservoirs and the Goit connecting the reservoirs were very full. |
