Hindley Station to Atherton Station
A fairly direct route along a quiet road with fields on one side, then footpaths through woods and across fields, with a cut through Central Park towards the finish. Some sections off-road can be overgrown and one footpath surfaced with broken roof tiles. Finishes at St John's Church, Atherton.
7km.
A blind bend when crossing Coupland Road from the south; one short footpath was so overgrown it was easier to stay on the road.
