9.5mi/15km,
Derwent Edge - Back Tor circular loop
We start next to the Lady Bower Inn with a short but very steep climb up onto the edge. It's worth the effort for the views over Lady Bower! We will then walk along the edge via White Tor, Dovestone Tor, Back Tor and Lost Lad before winding our way back down to the reservoir. We will follow the water until we are back at the Lady Bower Inn.
There is parking at Heatherdene £3 all day
There is a bus available but please note the times of departure - 273 bus leaves Sheffield Interchange at 9:00am and arrives at the Lady Bower Inn around 9.25. For returning the bus leaves either from Fairholmes (which will shorten your walk by about 3 miles) or the Lady Bower Inn. This might involve some hanging around as the buses are not very frequent but it's a nice place to kill an hour or so! (Depending on the size and ability of the group we will probably miss the bus at 1pm and the next bus is around 4pm - please ensure you are happy with this before committing to come on the bus).
It is suggested to bring the following:
- Lunch
- Plenty of water (the walk will probably take around 4 hours)
- Suitable footwear. The terrain is rocky in places, generally paved but if it has rained could be muddy/boggy in places).
- A waterproof and layers. The edge is very exposed so it's likely to be windy and cooler than you might be expecting and the weather is very changeable.
The views on the walk are spectacular, especially with the heather in full bloom at the moment, hope to see you there!
Difficulty - Medium - the climb at the start is quite steep but the walk is fairly easy going from there.

The Up and Downy Walk
Start: Open in map app SK232811, Hathesage Train Station
Walk Leader: Bryn C
Backmarker: Volunteer on day
This walk has its ups and downs. Literally. Start at Hathersage train Station and we’ll head up, then down and then up again to Bretton, where we’ll find the Barrell Inn – the highest pub in the peak district. We can stop for a drink here if there is interest. Then we’ll head down, then up and then down again into Eyam where there are a few cafes, so we can stop for tea / coffee / cake. And then we head through an up and downy wood and end up in Grindleford, where we’ll make our way back to Hathersage along Derwent River, so the last few miles will be flat.
There is a train leaving from Sheffield at 10.14am, which will arrive in Hathersage for 10.32am. If you are catching the train don’t forget your facemasks.

NOTHING TO DO WITH LOCKDOWN. OUR CHOSEN HOSTEL HAS HAD A WATER LEAK WHICH HAS DAMAGED THE ACCOMMODATION. SADLY IT WON'T BE AVAILABLE TILL 2022 (not next but the year after...)
There's a moose loose aboot this bunkhoose! Well there will be some SWGers at least! This August Bank Holiday we are heading north of the border to South West Scotland. We will be staying at Newton Stewart Youth Hostel close to the Galloway Forest Park and within easy reach of the Southern Uplands. We have sole use of the Hostel for 3 nights, so there will be plenty of time to explore the area, socialise and relax. More details to follow.

The Loxley Watershed Walk
Start: Open in map app SK327895, Loxley New Road, Malin Bridge
Walk Leader: TBC
Backmarker: Volunteer on day
This walk encircles the entire water catchment area for the Loxley river, using paths rather than roads as much as possible. After an initial start along the Loxley river itself, we then climb up to Loxley common and Loxley Edge and follow the Sheffield country walk to High Bradfield. We then take a series of paths and head along Rocher Edge towards the Dukes Road, which we will follow all the way to Back Tor (halfway point and lunch stop). We will walk along Derwent Edge, then take a right towards Moscar and a section of quiet country lane. If there is time, we will divert slightly from the watershed to visit Our Cow Molly, for a well-deserved ice cream to keep us going for the last hour of the walk back to Malin Bridge via Storrs and Matlock Edge. Assuming the weather is clear, we should have spectacular views of the Loxley valley from all directions and beyond. If the weather is very hot or wet, the route will be shortened. Please note that given the distance this will be a fairly fast paced walk with limited stops and we are likely to be out for 10 hours in total, so please make sure that you bring plenty of food and water and suitable clothing to cover all likely eventualities.

What better way to entice you on this walk than a promise of an Our Cow Molly ice-cream en-route. Although there’ll be a queue your pain will soon be forgotten as the luxuriant but delicately flavoured dairy delight envelopes those taste buds.
As for the walk, it heads westward with some sweeping views overlooking the largely tree topped Rivelin Valley taking in soft forest paths of Wyming Brook till we hot Rivelin Dams. Rising out of Rivelin Valley takes us into more open hill farmed livestock land walking along dry stone walled paths to our ice-cream stop. The return route drops down to the Loxley River following its gentle flow.

Some of the walks first section is a bit grim. I could try to romanticise it but that would be pointless. Anyway, after passing the ghostly images of Sheffield’s decaying industrial past the walk heads along Birley Edge with some sweeping hillside views, some cloaked in creeping city limits.
Our route enters an extended duration of soft woodland tracks and trails and the tree canopies of Prior Royd, Hague’s, Warncliffe, Redmires and Clough Woods. We briefly reemerge in open skies before following the tree lined banks of the River Don with its babbling, rushing and meandering waters back to Middlewood.

Norfolk Heritage Trail: from medieval to modern Sheffield
The Norfolk Heritage Trail is a walk through centuries of Sheffield history – from the middle ages to the modern, via the Tudors, Victorians and two world wars. The trail takes its name from the Dukes of Norfolk, who previously owned much of the land it covers, having inherited it from the Earls of Shrewsbury

10mi/16km,
Redmires to Bamford
This 10 mile circular walk has reservoirs, edges and just the odd hill to contend with. Ideal for those enjoying a Sunday lay-in, I’ll be leaving Redmires (top reservoir) at 10am. We start by heading up the stoney track to Stanage Pole. Striding onto the edge we’ll head to the right, along the top to the Long Causeway. We then drop down to towards New Road, strolling through fields and woods before the rewarding climb to Bamford Edge. The spectacular views make this one of my favourite walks. Given the starting point, this walk maybe more suitable to those who drive or those who live Redmires side of Sheffield. I’ll be following the ‘safe’ walk guidelines set out on the ramblers website (see the link below) so there’ll be no group hugs but I can promise you an interesting bimble with a great lunch spot. Who knows, this Sunday we might even see some sunshine.

Ramshaw Rocks, Hen Cloud, The Roaches and Luds Church
Start: Open in map app SJ998662, Gradbach Car Park
Walk Leader: Nigel L
Backmarker: Volunteer on day
Buried deep in the South West corner of the Peak District and across the Staffordshire border, this walk provides less familiar Peak District landscapes and, for many, a new place to explore. Delve through the usual rock formations of Ramshaw Rocks, a climb up Hen Cloud for the views further into Staffordshire and up onto the dramatic ridge of The Roaches, a place for an optional scramble for those feeling a bit more adventurous (Grades 1, 2 or 3).
However, a highlight of the day is probably passing through Lud’s Church, a 15m deep chasm where both Robin Hood and Bonnie Prince Charlie are said to have hidden from the authorities in Ye Olden Times.

A classic walk I have done many time, the walk starts through the Edale Valley towards Jacob's Ladder, from here, we head up the rather steep Jacob's Ladder towards Edale Rocks and Kinder Downfall.
Once we have taken in the views over Glossop, we can then back track a little (to avoid the boggy parts of Kinder) and take a path towards Pym Chair, wool packs and crowden tower where we will then head down Grindsbrook Clough back into Edale.
Once in Edale, we can then head to the pub for a pint or 3 before catching the train back to Sheffield.
Remember to bring your PPE and/or alcohol hand gel, keep your distance and follow walk leader's advice
