Bog Dodgers Way Anytime Challenge Walk

Bog Dodgers Badge

A 20 mile walk across Black Hill And Saddleworth Moors which visits some of the wettest bogs on the Pennines


The walk starts at Marsden Church GR 047 117. The route is then via the Wessenden Valley to reach the A635 at Isle of Skye, Digley Reservoir, Holme Village, Black Hill, Saddleworth Moor, Standedge and Tunnel End.


The walk follows the route of the original Pennine Way from Black Hill across Saddleworth Moors to Standedge and it can be very difficult in adverse weather conditions (rain and mist). Crossing these moors is not to be recommended in misty conditions without the aid of a compass and the abilty to use it effectively.


Route descriptions are available from our walks secretary Frank Lawson as are badges and certificates for successful completions at a cost of £2.00 plus SAE.
