About us
We are a social walking club based in Sheffield aimed at people in their 20s and 30s. The group has been around since July 2002 and has been growing steadily ever since – currently we have around 200 members! We are part of the Ramblers, Britain's largest walking charity.
We're always on the lookout for new members, so please book on to a walk or social, or come along to one of our monthly New Members' Nights.
More events and further information about the group is listed on our Web page: https://www.sheffieldwalkinggroup.org.uk/
Being a Ramblers affiliated group we encourage our participants to join the Ramblers Association. This allows you to attend our great weekends away and get other Ramblers benefits. It also helps support the great work that Ramblers do to keep the countryside open to all and to fight for the things that matter most to walkers. You can read more about the work done by Ramblers here.
We have walks of varying lengths every weekend in the Peak District or the South Yorkshire countryside.
We have an active Socials programme ranging from meals out and cinema trips to dancing and pool championships, not to mention a Easter Egg, Pub Hunt and a Christmas Party every year. There's something for everyone!
We organise weekends away to beautiful locations across the UK such as Snowdonia, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. They're a great opportunity to see some of the most picturesque parts of the country and take a break from work and the city for a very reasonable price.
We’re a Ramblers group run by volunteers who we rely on to keep it going. There are lots of ways to get involved, so if you’d like to lead a walk, organise a social or join the committee, we’d love to hear from you!

Full description:
Once upon a time on a foggy september afternoon I spent several hours on Blacka moor searching for a walking group with 30ft visibility in the fog. I gave up and went to fox house instead enjoying scenery and sheep along the way. This Sunday there is no fog and I will repeat that walk going from The Cross-scythes in Totley to Fox house. We will visit exciting landmarks such as; field with bull, steep ravine, bridge, field of sheep,This will be a leisurely walk on a sunny day but be aware of the muddy path and the livestock! (dogs on leads please). This will be a muddy or boggy walk (requiring sturdy walking boots). We have extra time to complete the walk so we may detour to enjoy Blacka moor, also I may run a short bonus walk to Burbage edge once at fox house.
Public transport or car sharing options:
This is a LINEAR walk, the start and end points are different!
The cross-scythes can be reached via the 97 / 98 / 218 bus routes. Arrives (12:37, 13:07, 13:37, 13:52).
Returning from fox house can be via the 65, 271 and 272 buses Departs( 15:46, 16:46, 18:06, 18:29).
If you want to drive it is possible to walk back to the start-point, alternately you could be smart and arrange to pick-up and drop off with another driver at the end point (10m drive either way). If you do this please let people know in the comments and share lifts.
