As I recall there used to be a checkpoint (numbers taken but no clip) at the path junction at SD 895 324, presumably to make sure we followed the track, but it hasn't been there for a few years. It's so tempting to do a bit of intelligent route optimisation like on the Calderdale Hike.

Dear Brett, since the checkpoint hasn't been there in a goodly while, can we assume that it's alright to proceed down the orange dashed line to Cant Clough Reservoir should we so choose? Ta. :w00t:
