Leaving Jacks Key car park, cross the road and follow the rough track to the top of the graveyard. Cross the access road here and continue up under the trees, before bearing right and then left again to continue heading up the hill, keeping the large empty field to your right. Once past the large yard, take the right fork and follow the track across the face of the hill to the large white house. Follow the tarmac briefly round the horseshoe bend, before turning left and climbing up the short but steep path. Once up on the moors, bear right at the fork and take the left turn at the next crossroads, then right when the path forks. This will bring you down to the track from Tockholes, where you will turn right, use the stile to cross the fence and head up the slope on the obvious path. Once back on the stone path at the top, turn left and follow the path to the Jubilee tower, before running round it to find the path heading away from the tower. Follow this path til the junction, take the left option and follow this path as it rounds the shoulder of the hill before dropping to the tarmac road. Now turning left, follow the tarmac road for a short distance to a stile, and cross the field following the obvious path round another house and eventually to a narrow wooden bridge. Cross the bridge, and head up the hill to another farm track, and keeping Whitehall Park on your left, follow the track through the field (climbing several stiles) until you reach a gate in the wall, where you will find a small bridge. Crossing the bridge, turn left and head down the path, keeping Whitehall park on your left until you reach the graveyard again. Then turn right, follow the access track up until you reach the path down to the car park, which you will follow in order to finish your run.
