Full description:
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.
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
