The second December Saturday in a row and the weather is just ideal for a quick walk. Today's walk started at White Coppice and it's quite strenuous. Crossing the Goit, turn sharp right and cross the bridge over Dean Black Brook. After a 100 yards cross the small footbridge that now doesn't fully cross the little stream and then in 30 yards fork left and begin to climb the old quarry track. Keep climbing until the second quarry is reached and then begin the steep climb to its right. At the top look around and you will find unfinished millstones - some are in near perfect condition. From here follow the old stone wall eastwards. Eventually the wall turns to the left, here cross it and continue climbing. The land underfoot is not easy to walk on but it is passable. Just as it levels out you will see a small cairn in the distance - head for this. This is Round Loaf. Leave Round Loaf in a northerly direction - descending all the time. Eventually you will reach Dean Black Brook - cross it turn left and follow one of several paths leading back to White Coppice.
