Chinley churn

So many turns
                    Chinley Churn

run walk or cycle its a route for all.





I was asked once, why don't you write a book about all the walks you do and let people discover the natural beauty of the Peak District, well i reckon there are loads of books on the subject and i do not class myself as a writer. So, here it is todays run over the churn.




Looking back towards Whaley Bridge and Toddbrook
I started the run from above Chinley at the top of the road named so aptly as "Over the hill" and parked in the layby on the right. Its a fairly steep start to the run but levels out for a short section before you enter the wild landscape of Chinley Churn.
Looking out towards the Downfall above Hayfield


Ive passed through the muddy and rocky sections now and i am off over the hill dropping fast towards Hills farm, however you dont drop in that deep you take the track heading out to the right which keeps you on the sky line looking out over some amazing views.



Interesting stones along the way.


 There is too much to tell about such a fantastic route that ill leave it up to you to discover it for yourself.
