The final instalment for the year of the Monyash to Arbor Low stone circle to celebrate the changes in the seasons. We’ve been for the spring and autumn equinoxes, the summer solstice, and now to celebrate the days starting to get longer again from this day on, we’ll head up to the stone circle on the shortest day.

We start by heading down Bagshaw Dale to Lathkill Dale, over the bridge in Lathkill Dale and up to One Ash Grange Farm where there may or many not be snazzy animals, and then up to Arbor Low. We’ll stop for lunch, and then head back to Monyash to the pub and warm up by the fire.

Please bring £1 for entry to the stone circle (there’s an honesty box), lunch as we’ll stop at the stone circle for a picnic, and plenty of warm clothes as it’ll be midwinter!

Public transport or car sharing options:
There’s no public transport to Monyash, but there is plenty of parking. Please offer lifts in the comments on Meetup if you can, and remember, drivers don’t buy drinks!

Be prepared:
Please remember to dress appropriately for the time of year, with plenty of warm clothes and waterproofs, as well as food and water. Further information on what to bring can be found on our website here: https://www.sheffieldwalkinggroup.org.uk/be-prepared

What is Christmas day about... Community, Connection, Food…the list could be endless. Spend the day with family, friends, or in solitude, but how we spend it, is very different for everyone; personally, a simple walk around a reserviour on a cold winters day, with a hot tea, sounds lovely.

I'm hoping, weather permitting, we get a chance to find some rocks to sit on, and we can spend some time relaxing and connecting with the elements around us.

I would like to give space to breath and connect with each other, but only if you feel comfortable.
This will be a relaxed walk, and I will be limiting the group number to a small size group for this particular walk.
You should have enough time to enjoy the rest of your day as you please.

Please note: This walk will be weather permitting.

Public transport or car sharing options:
There is no Public transport to the start of the walk.
Please car share. I can offer up to 2 people lifts from Tesco on Eccelsall road.

Let’s face it you can’t beat Burbage and the area around Fox House for a good walk! We will do a circuit out from Fox House, taking in the rock formations of Higger Tor and Carl Wood and looping in the top end of Padley Gorge. The route will take in rough and rocky tracks and paths, with the odd boggy patch. As ever come with plenty of warm and windproof layers as we plan to stop en route to have lunch.

Public transport or car sharing options:
The 272 bus leaves Sheffield interchange 10:30 to arrive at 11:01. As always, please do check the bus timetable prior to travel for any potential changes. Please post car sharing offers and requests in the Meetup comments.

A New Year’s Day walk to welcome in the year! This walk features Baslow Edge, Birchen Edge, Gardom’s Edge, various rocks in different formations (both manmade and natural) and probably a pub.

Bring lunch and we’ll find some appropriate rocks to sit on for a lunch break. Bonus points for anyone who brings any leftover Christmas chocolates!

Expect mud: ideally wear walking boots as some areas can be wet, and some will most certainly be muddy!

Public transport or car sharing options:
There are no buses on New Year’s Day! Please use the comments section on Meetup to arrange car sharing.
