Rugby Club, over Twinnies Bridge, left, over footbridge, second gate on the left, upper footpath to Mill car park. Cross road, footpath to Norcliffe Chapel, on to Altrincham road, left. Follow road, fork left through gate, continue to runway, forced left alongside runway, then after half a mile, footpath left dropping down towards main road. Go through iron gate, turn left onto the old road and then, almost immediately, left again onto the footpath (you are now just across the Bollin from the side of the Holiday Inn (known to the locals as the Valley Lodge). Follow footpath alongside the river to and up first set of steps, over bridge then up and down second set of steps. Right across bridge, left at end and then after 300m take a right (it's tempting to go straight on) bringing you back onto bank of Bollin. Up third set of steps, continue up gentler climb and then take footpath to right as path flattens. To road, right, downhill past Mill, follow river to Twinnies Bridge and finish at the Rugby Club.
