Itinerary description
A walk of moderate difficulty with close on 1000 ft of ascent and superb views in all directions from the summit of the Cloud. The walk starts and finishes at Congleton station to connect with public transport. However, an alternative starting point could be the Timbersbrook car park on the Gritstone trail at Weathercock Lane (GR 895627). This would cut out the canal side walk at the beginning and end.

We finished this track today.
Very nice views and walk.
First part (Cloud) is beautiful, but 2nd part is a bit confusing, walks through fields, and path a bit difficult....
But in general, very nice journey.
