Full description: We meet at the Summer House near Dore & Totley station for a coffee and a chat. Then we depart on the West part of Sheffield Round Walk, through Ecclesall Woods, Whirlow and Ringinglow Road to the Porter Brook trail. If there's considerable interest, we visit the Mayfield Alpacas Farm. Then we descend to Forge Dam Cafe to sip an afternoon coffee and to have a comfort break. The last part is an easy walk down to Endcliffe Park Cafe, our end point.

Public transport or car sharing options: Dore & Totley station is accessible by train from Sheffield railway station and the Hope valley line. Buses 97 and 98 stop there, also the 218.

At the end point, Endcliffe Park, a number of buses stop: the 65, 81, 82, 83, 88 and the 272.

If you come by car to the start point, from the Endcliffe Park Cafe end point it is a quarter an hour walk to the Psalter Lane / Stretton Road bus stop, where you can take bus 218 to Dore & Totley station. Check the timetable upon arrival as this is not a frequent bus service.
