This is a another walk thats been done in the past and is ideal for people who want to just do a short walk up the valley and back, and perfect for people who want to do the longer route up the beautiful Wyming Brook to Lodge Moor. From here we can either catch the bus back to town, or return down the brook and back along the Rivelin Valley.

The walk in total will be roughly 8 miles.

For people who haven't done this walk before, I think the Rivelin Valley section if done as a round walk is about 3.5 miles. To carry on up Wyming Brook to either of the Sportsman or Three Merry Lads Pubs at Lodge Moor is around 4.5/5 miles, with the climb up Wyming Brook being quite steep in places, and it can be muddy if wet.

The Rivelin Dam cafe I believe doesn't open till 10:00, but people wanting to meet there for breakfast before the walk are welcome to do so, as the walk will start properly at 10:45am at the side of the cafe.

Meeting Place:

For those coming by public transport or not wanting to eat at the cafe, I wll meet them at the Malin Bridge Tram Stop (near Towsure) at 10:15am (a tram leaves sheffield cathedral at 9:57am reaching Malin Bridge at 10:11am). We will then set off walking to the cafe to meet those who want breakfast there at 10:45am to start the walk.

Parking

For those coming by car or wanting to eat at the cafe you can park at the side of the road on Rivelin Valley Road ( for free) near the cafe. Please be aware there will be roadworks on that road over the weekend.

For those meeting at Malin Bridge Tram stop, drive past Towsure with it on your left and then pull into the car park on your left just after it. It costs £1 for all day parking.

Please state in your post which meeting point you will be at, as we don't want to miss anyone.

Can I ask that inline with future policy, can people make sure they are wearing appropiate clothing and suitable footwear for this type of walk, and also that they bring a packed lunch and a drink.


I hope to see a few of us on this walk.

I'll be there of course.

this is a lovely walk, I will see what us southerners are doing, and let you know.
Yes, the steep bit can catch you out.

Just bumping this thread up a bit, to try and generate a bit of interest. A few people have told me that they'll be on this walk and had a couple of maybe's. Newcomer's are most welcome as well, can anyone that is coming please post that they are so that we know who to expect. Thanks.

Hi everyone, finally manged to get on the computer in our house:rant:.

I really enjoyed todays walk such a varied range of terrain, scenery and interesting things to see, nice to hear everyone else enjoyed it.:)

Todays roll of honour so to speak was: Bruno, Mrs DJ, Poppypopstar, Anne D, Agent Orange, DingoDave (aka Riverbike), Michael, MrPedantic, Logi beared and myself Village Owl.

It wa also great to meet up with Eclair on route.

I must say a few thankyou's:

Thanks to Pops for leading us Wyming Brook the correct way, your a star mate. Also thanks to Agent Orange for helping up the brook.:thumbsup:

Thanks to Bruno for the lift back to the car afterwards along with the ice-cream which went down a treat, much appreciated mate.:thumbsup:

Finally thanks to everyone who's attended the last two walks while the rest of the group was away, and for your comments about me. I'm sure you'll all agree that we've had a really enjoyable couple of weekends.:D

Great photo's Bruno.

See you all next week, when the groups back together.

Thanks Village Owl for a lovely walk today great company as usual. Thanks go to Poppypop star for my pull up the hill im sure if someones bum hadnt got in the way (he knows who i mean ) i would have made it . To Bruno and Mrs D J for my lift . Glad to hear Eclair and ( Riverbike) got home without anyone following you . Great day

Again, thanks VO for leading another great walk, I surprised myself by completing it, especially the crawl up the hill, (glad of the helping hand :))Wyming Brook is a really beautiful place... so pleased I did all the walk!

You know! I can't get that Tina Turner song out of my head!

I've got it now "Riverdeep Mountain Bike" :hihi:

hahahaha, :hihi::hihi::hihi:

What a pleasent and relaxed walk that was,the weather was kind to us whilst we enjoyed a wonderful walk. Lots of different terrain ,some stunning views.
Some funny moments en route:hihi::hihi:.

Nice to see the newies / old members.

Credit to Village Owl for leading such a fantastic walk,in a professional manner
Hats off to you mate.:clap:

Sorry i went ahead the last mile or so,as the Roast Beef was burning :hihi:

Nice to see so many people fishing,but it wasnt fish being pulled out of the water on our walk:hihi:

Oh did i hear someone shout "on ya bike" or was i dreaming?:D

The group walks just get better and better.

Cheer's everyone for the praise, but I'll repeat what I said last time out its a pleasure to lead a group like our's round on a walk but all I did both weekend is follow a route. And I did have help from Eclaire leading me through Rivelin Valley a few weeks before hand, and Pops was fantastic leading us Wyming Brook, so thanks to both of you.

I agree with Mrs DJ, that Wyming Brook was fantastic, well worth the walk up the road to it, and the view from behind the Three Merry Lads pub wasn't half bad either.

See you all next week.
