After having reached the western end of the reservoir and walking though the ‘atmospheric’ but interesting woodland we head towards the edge of Thurlstone Moor which will eventually lead us to the Trans Pennine Trail - accessed via Cote Bank Bridge. Easy walking ensues as we follow the trail whilst heading due west until we get to Dunford Bridge at around the 4 ½ mile mark of the walk The ‘easiness’ of the walk up to this point changes as we ascend Windle Edge Rd (which eventually reaches the Manchester Rd - Woodhead Pass). But, after almost a mile of ascending this road, and having rosy cheeks, we leave the road to start our trek over the western end of Thurslston Moor. Here, a decent path will take us past (near) the Upper Windledon Reservoir whilst on our way to our highest point of the day – Fiddlers Green at almost 1500ft above sea level. A level bit of walking alongside (but away from) the Manchester Road gets us to ‘The Old Salt Road’ (a track which is part of the Barnsley Boundary walk). A mile and a quarter later, we meet up once more with the Manchester Road…. great care is needed now as we have to cross this very busy road. At this point (about 8 miles into our walk) we arrive at a famous place in the area – The Dog and Partridge pub…. a great place to have a break, rest and socialise. Suitably refreshed, we’ll start our tail-end of the walk for our return to Langsett Barn. Eventually, we get to walk along a decent, lower-level, path alongside the reservoir before making a ‘gentle’ ascent back to our start-point. It is worth noting that almost throughout the entire walk, the paths and tracks are very good and will be of little concern to most. There have been ‘boggy bits’ when crossing the moor on previous occasions but, given the dry weather recently, it should not be of any concern to us.
