Overview

NOTE: Further details to follow.

Please keep an eye on the website in case of cancellation due to bad weather conditions.

This is a fairly easy urban walk featuring two of Sheffield's rivers. Along the way we'll discover some interesting gennels (as in Weird Walks - 1 last week) and consider the origins of some of the street names we encounter.

Meet at Waitrose, bottom of Ecclesall Road at 10:15 (exact details of starting point to be added shortly). From there we follow the Porter Brook trail to Hunters Bar, then via parts of Sheffield Round Walk across to the River Sheaf Walk heading back towards town. We finish on Queen's Road at Lowfield, where there are buses back to the city centre, also from nearby London Road.

Please contact the leader in advance if you have not walked with the group before.

No dogs please.
