This hike is about 16km (10 miles) with approximately 500m of ascent. Most of the ascent is gradual, with only a few short steep sections.

Join Ant and the Outdoor Lads for a hike in the Goyt Valley and up Shining Tor.

The walk will start by Errwood Reservoir with a gentle first stretch by the side of Fernilee Reservoir. Once at the end of the reservoirs, we'll follow the River Goyt before bearing West and starting the ascent up to Taxal Edge. From there we'll follow the ridge over Cats Tor, eventually reaching Shining Tor, where we'll get great views over the surrounding countryside. From Shining Tor, we'll descend back down to Errwood Reservoir.

Dogs are welcome, though will need to be on leads if we go through any fields with livestock.

Once finished, we can go to the nearby village of Kettleshulme for drinks and food.

Message the event leader if you've any questions.
