Starting off at Fox House, we'll drop down into Padley Gorge, head up to Over Owler Tor for a short loop of moorland and boulders, then back into Padley Gorge to descend down to the river and on to Grindleford (someone say cafe?). We will climb back up through the woods, with some steep muddy sections, into Longshaw estate for a second (optional) coffee / cake stop! Finishing back at Fox House.
