This is hardly to be ranked with the Kinder round, or walking to Macchu Picchu , but some stretches are tougher than you would expect. Sheffield hills were always steep. So don't expect a park stroll in sandals. I walked it, in stages, with full walk to start points, in afternoon strolls, with side trips, from S8. My reason was... more

I've lived in Sheffield for 30 years. I've driven around and (occasionally!) taken the bus to get from A to B or C. I've walked and jogged along the main roads from Totley to Meadowhall.

It was lovely to watch the squirrels in the lovely woodlands which amazed us because they stretched for miles.(the woods I mean not the squirrels) Today... more
