‘A’ Party Leader    Tony
Distance 13.5 miles         Climbing    2476 ft           Leaving the coach at Marsden
  We start our walk at the Marsden Railway Station heading North over the railway & canal, we will then set off up a steep track up and over Huck Hill (Dirker Bank) onto open Moor. Just before we get to Cupwith Reservoir we head East over Reaps Hill. (I just hope it is not burnt out like it was on my last visit?) At Wham we head north again to Bradshaw Clough, at Birks we then head easterly passing Ainley Place, Wilberlee to Bolster Moor. At Ridings we head down into Linthwaite crossing the Hudderfield narrow Canal taking either the high track back to Marsden or follow the canal… Should be back in time for Tea.  
‘B+’ Party Leaders    Stuart
Distance 11 miles          Climbing  1730                   Leaving the coach at  Marsden
    From the coach we head south out of Marsden , through an old factory and climb 200 steps to join the Kirklees Way to Wessenden Reservoir to pick up the Pennine Way which we follow for several miles to the A640. Here we pick up the Station to Station walk back into Marsden , where we can see where the Huddersfield Narrow Canal exits it’s 3 mile tunnel under the Pennines , for refreshments and the coach home.
   
‘B’ Party Leader    John
Distance 8  miles     Climbing  800  ft            Leaving the coach at Marsden
      From Marsden we take the Huddersfield Narrow Canal to Lock 23E at Slaithwaite. We cross the cobbled bridge to head up past the Shoulder of Mutton pub and then past the Silent Woman pub (oxymoron? Surely). We go up to and past the reservoir and join the path to Merry Dale Clough. We make our way up to Cop Hill crossroads and then take the paths over Slaithwaite and Marsden moors to the Kirklees way. We then veer off to the Standedge visitor centre and rejoin the canal back into Marsden and, on my personal recommendation, the Riverhead Brewery Tap.
