The walk continues up alongside a series of edges and Moorland hills with views over towards the large urban conurbations around Oldham and Manchester. After a brief dalliance on an ancient packhorse road, the Pennine Way passes three reservoirs before winding up to the needle shaped Stoodley Pike monument that you can see over 5 miles before  you reach it. This is a classic viewpoint along the route. There follows a long descent into Hebden Bridge.
