What we’re about
This group is for outdoor and nature enthusiasts! :)
We offer free outdoor events (typically hikes / walks, but also bike rides, etc) in the Peak District national park and Sheffield surrounding area.
Our events are a great opportunity to stay healthy and active (physically and mentally), connect with other people, spend time in the nature and view beautiful sceneries.
Everyone is welcome to join our outdoor adventures group.
Our walks typically last a full day. There is no climbing involved, but occasionally our walks can include an easy scramble.
Each walk is lead by people that know the area well. For every event the route is shared in advance (with a GPX file and a Komoot link).
Important information:
Anyone joining our events is responsible for their safety and health (including guests). The group does not have any insurance policy covering injuries. If you RSVP to our events, you must agree to these conditions.
If you have any questions, please contact the event organiser and/or write a message in the comments section of the event.

🐶 Dogs
Fit and friendly dogs are welcome! Please keep them on a lead near livestock.🦌 Deer
The moorland around White Edge and Big Moor is one of the best places in the Peak District to spot wild red deer. In autumn, the landscape comes alive with the rut — the dramatic deer mating season.
Listen out for the deep roars of stags, and you might witness antler clashes as males compete for females. In the final part of our walk, we'll have a good chance to catch the action, especially when crossing White Edge and passing near the Longshaw Estate.
Keep a safe distance — stags can be unpredictable during the rut. Binoculars help!📢 Notes

This is a nice walk with a different feel to the usual Peak District walks. Not hill after hill :( The route is through fields, country tracks, woodland and slowly becoming more urbanised into Sheffield where we finish.
We start by leaving Elsecar village onto Hoyland common passing through fields to Wentworth Village which has a nice church. Descending a little to Wentworth Woodhouse an old manor house which is a highlight of the walk. We descend gradually on a nice track to Morley pond. After we ascend gradually to Scholes village and onto Grange Moor Golf course which should have views onto the M1 and surrounding area. Next we head down to Meadowhall. Finally a casual path back to Sheffield via the 5 wiers walk
