Brief Description

From parking on the M58, a short walk leads to the drain path that goes under and to the north of the Edge towards Green Withens reservoir and on to the M62 (footbridge, Windy Hill). There we turn away from the M62 to follow the slowly rising Pennine Way up and over Blackstone Edge and return via the Aigin Stone.
