By Car
However many walks can only be reached practically by car. Therefore please note the following arrangements for these walks:
We encourage all walkers to meet at the car park and time stated in the walk description in Sheffield city centre and to share lifts to the walk start. This is to ensure that those without cars can get along and also to try and reduce the number of vehicles going out to the walk start. Please remember to offer something to cover petrol and any car parking costs if you receive a lift.
Generally, Saturday walks tend to meet at the University Car Park, Durham Rd (free parking) and Sunday walks at Fitzwilliam Street car park (free on a Sunday). The following links are to Street maps of the different car park meeting points we may use:
