The route is flagged and marshalled in places. Starts on the bridge over the canal by Rochdale Road Primary School , just off the A646 Burnley Road in Mytholroyd. The start is tough as it climbs up through the fields past Hill House Farm, then continues to climb up through the fields to Wicken Hill. The route then eases slightly as you cross a section of Midgley Moor, then drop down to High House Lane in Luddenden Dean. The route then bears left and you run up the bridletrack towards the head of the valley.

After passing under the gatehouses at the head of the track, the route then climbs left up the steep steps at Hough Dean. At the top you then follow the flags straight across Dimmin Dale Edge before picking up the Calderdale Way (part of leg 4 CWR!) across the top of the golf course and back to Cock Hill and Wicken Hill.

It's then a fast descent back to the valley floor, following the same route down that you hauled up at the start!
