Itinerary
Heyy, firstly we leave Slaithwaite and go down the canal for 2.5 mile ish which is all flat to Marsden this is still very scenic. Next it is straight uphill through tight paths to Cupwith Reservoir. Next we hit a road and drop down into the Scammonden valley. Down a rough track to Deanhead reservoir which is tiny compared to Scammonden water if it has any water in it. We will skirt round one side of the reservoir then uphill gradually again to reach pole hill, Moorside edge. Then a random zig zaggy descent to Slaithwaite reservoir and back to the start.
