The event centre at Millers Bar is our base and after picking up some points in the Sett Valley and through the impressive Torrs some of you will be heading up onto Mellor Moor with its excellent path network and superb views. Others may choose to stay longer in the valley picking up points in the wooded Mousely Bottom and / or Goytside Meadow. With over 80 Spunchpoints (checkpoints) spread out over an area of about 10sq km there will be plenty of options to keep you interested and challenged. There will be options to do more or less climbing and opportunities for fast running (or walking) on some great local trails*.
After your outing - as well as the refreshments - there will be opportunities to compare routes and share success stories back at Millers Bar. The venue is child & dog friendly.
