| Walk Name | The Roaches, Hen Cloud and Lud’s Church from Upper Hulme |
| Description | This route starts in Upper Hulme and first takes us on a steep climb up to Hen Cloud, with views of the Tittesworth Reservoir to the West. From here we head down towards the Roaches, and make our way along the top until we drop down and walk through some woods before reaching Luds Church. We then loop back and take a path parallel to the Roaches, but lower-level, until we reach Ramshaw Rocks then it’s back to the start in Upper Hulme. The ascent up onto hen cloud involves a scramble with a couple of awkward bits and Gaiters are very much advised, parts are very boggy around Luds Church and over to Ramshaw Rocks. |

| Additional Information | There are no public toilets at the start of the walk at Upper Hulme or on the walk. Then it’s a short steep road walk back to the cars. Walking along the Roaches can be quite exposed so worth bringing an extra layer to keep warm. Also, the woods before Luds Church, and walking through the woods can be muddy in places. Walk highlights: There is 1 trig to bag if that’s your thing and 3 Ethel’s if anyone is collecting those too. Please sign up early, this will help if details change at short notice and you can be notified asap. No dogs Thankyou |
