This week Malcolm Chester led a group of 8 walkers on a scenic walk from Uppermill to Dove Stone Reservoir with great views over the reservoirs and hills beyond. From Uppermill Sports Club the route first followed The Tameside Valley Way then The Huddersfield Narrow Canal before picking up The Oldham Way along Intake Lane to Dove Stone Reservoir. The return to the start was via Binn Green Car Park and a climb up to The Pots and Pans Monument in very windy conditions. Afterwards, some of the group went to Albion Tap in Uppermill for drinks.
