The walk commenced and finished at Sawley Road, Sawley. 

The route initially followed the Ribble Way towards Gisburn, passing through the site of the Beat Herder Festival before crisscrossing the Blackburn to Helifield railway prior to dropping down through Steep Wood to a particularly beautiful section of the river Ribble. After a short coffee stop here the group continued on towards Gisburn. Upon reaching the edge of the village it turned south and crossed the A59 towards Westby Hall Farm. After passing through the farm it continued towards Rimmington stopping a short distance from the village in a lovely valley by the side of Eel Beck for lunch.

After lunch the group continued on into Rimmington, then turned generally towards Twiston before turning back towards Sawley along Ings Beck.

Upon arrival back in Sawley most of the group made the most of Spread Eagle public house in the village.
