The B walk, led by Brendan and Sharon, sets out from Hebden Bridge walking towards Todmorden along the canal until crossing the road and river to pick up the Pennine Way. It keeps ascending on the stony path and track, crosses the bridge over Golden River and reaches Golden Village before climbing onto Heptonstall Moor heading for Hardcastle Crags and Gibson Mill. Then it follows the circular track through the Crags to the Car Park before descending back down to Hebden Bridge via road, track and riverside path.
8½ miles with ascent up to 1550'.
The C walk will be a circular from Hebden Bridge of around 6 miles. If we get no volunteer to lead then Brian will join the party and we’ll cobble together a good walk on the day between ourselves.
