Signpost Challenge Hike

The Signpost Challenge Hike, organized by South Manchester LDWA, takes place in Marple, near Stockport. This scenic and hilly event offers two route options: a 24-mile course with 4,300ft of ascent and an 18-mile course with 3,000ft of ascent, both to be completed within 10 hours. The routes traverse notable landmarks including Werneth Low, Cown Edge, Lantern Pike, Chinley Churn, and the Goyt Valley, featuring views of Manchester, the South Pennines, and the Peak District.
