Distance: 4 miles Ascent: 808 feet
Time: 2 hours
Weather: Dry and mild
Comments: First walk with a reasonable amount of ascent since before Christmas. Only one marshy section near Howcroft Brook. The reinstated woodland area just north of Churn Clough reservoir is very dense and harder to navigate than it was two years ago.
