Staffordshire 3 Peaks Challenge Walk

Saturday 15th February 2025. We meet at Gradbach Car Park (W3W develop.entitles.bonus) between 09.00 and 09.15 After a quick safety briefing we begin our walk. The walk is approximately 26km (16 miles) long, and follows footpaths, bridleways, rocky paths and quiet roads. There are some uneven, boggy and rocky sections, and the very nature of the event means there will be some long ascents and descents. Our pace will be relaxed! Guiding is in a small group of no more than 10 people by an experienced local guide. The walk concludes back at Gradbach Mill at approximately 16.30 with the opportunity for a debrief over drinks and food as a gesture of economic support to the local community (Subject to cafe opening hours)
