The 'Wednesday' Walk on ThursdaysStadium and Short Walks
We usually get away from the stadium for our walk, but if there are too many walkers
or if we do not have the transport, we may do a 'stadium' walk instead.
We may also use these walks for our less fit walkers as they are usually shorter or flatter.
Most walks have a map and description, which you can download as a PDF or a MS Word docx file.

|
| 1 | Morrisons / Hillfoot | up to 3 miles, flat, roads | ||
| . | Our first ever walk, designed to find out if people can really walk 3 miles. Easy going and at least 5 shortcuts (or you can extend it if you want!) | |||
| 2 | Owlerton and Shirecliffe | 2.5 miles hilly steps | ||
| . | There are a number of ways of getting to the 'blue bridge' at Owlerton,
and the walk there and back (using any of these routes) is enough for a short, flat walk. Once you get into the cemetry the climb starts, initially on a good path, then up rough steps and finally besides a steep drop - but the views from the top are fantastic. Return via Shirecliffe, Cookson Park or Scraith Wood - or straight down Herres Road |
|||
| 4 | Oxspring | 2.2 to 2.5 miles, hilly, no mud | ||
| . | In the same direction as Shirecliffe, the fishing pond at Oxspring and the walks round it and back past Hallam FM can be extended up into Shirecliffe or round Cookson Park. Mainly on roads and pavements, this is a good wet weather walk. | |||
| 8 | Clay Wheels Lane | 2.5 miles | ||
| . | Heading North, go along Clay Wheels Lane, up Limestone Cottages Lane and then head back through the wood and across the fields to Penistone Road. Steep hill, rough, steep footpath and muddy fields. | |||
| 11 | The two sides of Middlewood | 2.8 miles | ||
| . | The other side of the river to Clay Wheels Lane, this walk visits the river bank then heads up into Middlewood to visit the church. Hilly, possibly a bit of mud but mainly road / tarmac. | |||
| 16 | Club Mill Road | 2.5 miles | ||
| . | Very muddy and very steep, slippery slopes. You climb the slopes before you find out how muddy it is, then have to slither back down - so if in doubt, go the other way round! |
|||
| 16a | Club Mill Road anticlockwise | 2.5 miles | ||
| . | The same walk, reversed. If it's not a drought, go anti-clockwise and be prepared to turn back, as the top is VERY muddy and steep downhill | |||
| 20 | Parson Cross (almost) and the Binsteds | 2.6 miles | ||
| 35 | Foxhill and Meynell | 2.8 miles | ||
| 31 | Morley Street Allotments | 2.7 miles | ||
| 33 | Spider Park (Middlewood) | 2.5 miles | ||
| 46 | Wadsley Top | 2.6 miles | ||
| 79 | Middlewood from the stadium | 2.9 miles | ||
