Overview

From Ridgeway Moor to Totley, via Geerland Farm, Troway, Apperknowle, Unstone, Bull Close Farm, Monk Wood, Cowley and Holmesfield.
Mainly on field and woodland paths and tracks. Some paths muddy on recce (end of February).
The route crosses three river valleys so there is quite a lot of ascent (approx. 1600 feet), and almost as much descent.
The route includes part of the Chesterfield Round Walk, and the last section is on the Sheffield Country Walk.
At least ten stiles in the middle section of the walk.
Livestock in fields, no dogs please.

Break-off point at Unstone (a little over 4 miles) for 43 or 44 bus into Sheffield (two per hour)
