I find that after a relatively easy 8 mile walk it now takes me a full two days before I get my full energy back, unless I make a mid-week effort to get even as little 2 or 3 miles in on a local hill.
Talking of which I did the first part of the Tameside Trail a couple of weeks ago and was rather taken by the section from Broadbottom to Windy Harbour where the old steak joint used to be. The wood near Botham's Hall was particularly pleasant.
I had not played off road on that side of the Low before and was quite impressed.

There are a few walks from Broadbottom we use in winter to save driving far, but haven't done the B/B to Werneth one yet, (I don't know why - just a matter of working out a return route.
A good 7 miler is:
Lymefield - over the river bridge - Warhurst Fold - Woodseats Farm - Boarfold - Botham's Hall - Great Wood then back onto the Broadbottom road and up to Mottram Church (possibly via the Waggon) - return via The Hague and Hague Road.
Surprising how much quiet country can be found fairly close. :-) -- Gordon

Thanks for that - I will have to give it a go sometime.

Indeed and there are even some pleasant bit in the urban sprawl. I also enjoyed your local part of the trail from Debdale Park through to Daisy Nook.
