Full description:
Starting off in Oughtibridge, we'll try not get into a row (pun intended) making our way along the Upper Don Trail towards Sheffield. But we won't stop there! We'll continue following the river towards Meadowhall/Tinsley before bending right and down back towards the city centre along the Tinsley canal.
Please note that despite the lack of elevation, this is still quite a long walk. Plus, I'm known to walk at a brisk pace and struggle to slow down, so a decent level of walking fitness is required! Please also bring a packed lunch for a stop along the way.
Public transport or car sharing options:
The 57 bus leaves Flat Street at 08:43 to arrive in Oughtibridge at 09:07. Because this is a linear walk, driving is not convenient.
Additional info: This will be a fast-paced walk (requiring a good level of fitness)
Be prepared:
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
