From the start point, we walk back along a track parallel to the main road towards Moscar House. Turning up a track alongside grouse butts to a summit, we then head NW and follow the track over Derwent Moor (with great views over the reservoir). Passing Wheel Stones and White Tor, just before reaching Derwent Edge, we take a single track back down the hillside to pick up a path towards Grindle Clough and meet the path at the side of Ladybower Reservoir. A steady stroll leads us to Ashopton before we follow the track which runs at the rear of Ladybower Inn back to the start point.
