Having been on a few smaller walks, Sale Arts Trail and Sale Water Park, we’ve decided that it’s about time we went to the top of a hill. During the Ramsbottom walk we noticed a hill even closer to Manchester with large masts on it, this was Winter Hill. After a little research (looking at a map) we realised it’s the hill behind the popular visitor attraction, Rivington Pike… the following plan was formed.
The Plan
- 10:30 : Meet at the car park (free)- 10:45 : Start Walk
- 12:30 : 13:00 : Lunch looking over Ramsbottom
- 14:00 : Rivington Pike
- 14:45 : Liverpool Castle
- 15:15 : Finish Walk
Parking
The Kit
- Clothes suitable for the conditions- Waterproof coat
- Suncream (if sunny)
- Walking boots (Winter Hill can get very muddy)
- Rucksack (to carry stuff)
- Lunch
- Water (at least 1L)
- A good attitude
