The Pudsey Plod has 4 levels of challenge… moderate, medium and strong and even an  one for those who just want a short stroll.

The walk is made up of three parts, walkers can choose to do Part 1, a route of just over 7 miles. If they choose to do Parts 1+2 they will cover about 14.5 miles. Walkers choosing to do Parts 1+2+3 will have to complete around 19 miles.

The “short” walk is about 3 miles and is really a small loop taken from Part 1. Ideal for those wanting to take part but only wishing, to walk a short distance.

All walks start and finish at The Elmwood Hotel on Calverley Lane. All routes go via Priesthorpe Lane to Woodhall Hills, the “short” stroll then returns by Priesthorpe Road and Shell Lane to the start point. Those continuing pass through Woodhall to Stone Stile. Here the longer walks part company. Those on Part 1 follow the route of the Calverley Millennium Way past Fagley through Ravenscliffe Woods to Apperley Bridge to a return along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to Owl Bridge with a final climb back up to the start point.

The longer walks adding Parts 2 and Part 3 proceed south from Stone Stile to cross Bradford Road, over the railway to Wildgrove, Tyersal Lane and Black Carr Woods then following the Pudsey Beck to the foot of Keeper Lane. Here walkers doing Part 2 start the return via Bankhouse, Green Top, Smalewell, Gibraltar and eventually Galloway Lane back to Stone Stile and the remaining half of the Millennium Way.

Walkers doing the longest route (Parts 1+2+3) climb from Pudsey Beck up to Tong and into Cockers Dale, round towards Troydale and up to Fulneck via Roker Lane. After passing through Fulneck the route rejoins the Part 2 route to return to Stone Stile and the Millennium Way, this longest walk requires considerable commitment to complete in the time and should only be undertaken by experienced walkers.
