Route description: Tegg's Nose Country Park-Tegg's Nose-Teggsnose Reservoir-Bottoms Reservoir-Clarke Lane-Ridgegate Reservoir-Macclesfield Forest-Shutlingsloe-Wildboarclough-A54-Three Shire Heads-A54-Cat & Fiddle-Macclesfield Forest-Hacked Way Lane-Clough House-Tegg's Nose Country Park

A walk up Shutlingsloe and through the countryside around Macclesfield Forest. After parking at the Tegg's Nose Country Park car park I made my way to the viewpoint of Tegg's Nose. From there I made my way downhill past Teggsnose and Bottoms Reservoirs and then along minor roads into Macclesfield Forest before following a footpath up to the summit of Shutlingsloe. From the summit I then made my way downhill into the hamlet of Wildboarclough and then using footpaths and bridleways to Three Shire Heads. I was then on the Dane Valley Way for a short stretch until I crossed the A54 and used a bridleway to reach the Cat & Fiddle. I then made my way back to Tegg's Nose Country Park through the countryside surrounding Macclesfield Forest.
