From the car park we go through the forest to Mallards Pike, and Soudley ponds. We walk along Soudley ponds and return via Abbots Wood and Brinchcombe, descending to the Blue Rock Trail. Back via Staple Edge.
There is an option to see the gorge at Brinchcombe. This has steep, uneven, slippery steps but is an amazing natural feature. 20 attendees maximum.
