Full description: Join me for a lovely social stroll around Damflask Reservoir! Come along for some fresh air, beautiful autumnal views and a chance to spot some of the local wildlife.
We will meet at 11:15 at The Sands car park, which can get full on weekends, but there are plenty of free parking options around Low Bradfield. The walk will take approximately 1.5 hours and is relatively easy-going, so it's a great opportunity to get outdoors, stretch your legs and have a catch-up.
Please remember to wear suitable walking boots or sturdy footwear and bring waterproof clothing, just in case the British weather has other ideas!
Afterwards, for anyone who fancies it, we'll head over to The School Rooms for an optional hot drink and a bite to eat.
It would be lovely to see you there – the more, the merrier!
Public transport or car sharing options: If you require public transport, you should catch the 62 bus from Hilsborough Interchange towards Low Bradfield at 10:43. This should get you in at around 11:07. There is a returning bus at 14:05. There are buses hourly after this point.
However, from experience of living in the area, the buses are not the most reliable, so I strongly advise us all to carshare where possible. Please dont drive alone and offer lift below if you are driving!
Be prepared:
Please remember to dress appropriately for the time of year, with enough layers, sun protection if required, a waterproof, as well as food and water. Further information on what to bring can be found on our website here: https://www.sheffieldwalkinggroup.org.uk/be-prepared
