gradual climb up Blakely Clough onto Black Moss, the moss being replaced by some impressive yorkstone slabs for the walk over to Black Moss Reservoir having passed Swellands Resvervoir on the right. With the introduction of the stones the path joins the banks of the reservoir at its south east corner and goes anti clockwise around to the north west corner before picking up another section of slabs over Rocher Moss.

Another detour as a result of slab introduction takes the way down towards Redbrook Reservoir before which it turns left joining a wide track that is part of the Standedge Trail. The track ends in a car park with a useful information board on the side of the A62

part of the European Long Distance Walking Route E2
