We decide to do the walk to Lud’s Church via the Roaches, starting from the Upper Hulme Tea room. This has now closed.
Along the road then we took the path to the right between the Roaches and Hen Cloud,
continuing to climb to the ridge and walk along, past Ginny Greenteeth’s pool.
With views of Jodrell Bank
To the trig point
More splendid rocks
Across the road at Roach End, then we followed the path along the ridge, toward Swythamley, with a view of the distant Boseley Cloud.
We turned right to Back Forest and followed the path round to Lud’s Church, which is always impressive.
We completed the loop with the steep climb just before Gradbach Mill, to rejoin the ridge walk and the Roaches.
Just over 8 miles and plenty (almost 1200 feet) of climbing.
We followed the same route as on Oct 14th 2023.
