Full description:
Starting at Hathersage, we'll head south along the River Derwent, turning off towards Nether Padley as we head up Hay Wood. Then it's north to Yarncliffe Wood, continuing along Millstone Edge (lunch stop), then vaguely north-west, turning left to cross Mitchell Field, then generally back to Hathersage.
Public transport or car sharing options:
There's a train from Sheffield getting in at approximately 9.30am, so we'll wait for that to arrive.
272 bus from Sheffield is also an option.
Please organise car sharing in the comments.
