Full description:
From Chinley, we will head straight up to Mount Famine and South Head, maintaining the elevation for a while before descending back to civilization through the little village of Wash and then back to Chinley.

Public transport or car sharing options:
The train leaves Sheffield station at 9.14, arriving in Chinley at 9.54. If you drive, there is a large car park at Chinley train station.

Please note: the Hope Valley trains are always busy on good-weather weekends, so arrive at the station with plenty of time to avoid being turn down by stressed conductors ;-)

Please remember to dress appropriately for the time of year, with enough layers, sun protection if required, a waterproof, and food and water. Further information on what to bring can be found on our website here: https://www.sheffieldwalkinggroup.org.uk/be-prepared
