With Harry. Something over 6 miles, with about 750 feet of climbing, and a few muddy patches. Stunning weather, stunning views.
We set off just after 11am, parking at Tittesworth Reservoir. We joined the Churnet Way, turning right along the road and walked past Middle Hulme Farm.
There was a great view of Hen Cloud and Ramshaw Rocks.
In spite of signs we managed to create a small diversion before reaching Upper Hulme.
And we missed the slightly hidden turning from the surfaced road to the narrow footpath along the diminutive Churnet…and climbed a few extra feet, but were soon back on track. This section was quite wet and slippery in parts, but very pretty.
From then on we took more care and followed the route past the entrance to Naychirch Farm, and across moorland to the minor road near Ramshaw Rocks. We crossed this and made our way to the top, where we found a spot for lunch.

We made our way back via the same route, minus diversions. A more rugged six miler than the ones I normally do, and very enjoyable.
