Full description:
Starting from Moscar, we head south over the top of the moors towards Stanage Edge. We stay on the same path to Upper Burbage Bridge, which is where the section 4 route ends. However, because there is no public transport from this point, we head down towards Hathersage and catch the train back to Sheffield.
Public transport or car sharing options:

Getting home from the finish:
- Train to Sheffield (Hathersage Station platform 2, 20:43 > Sheffield Station, 21:00)
