No, its a linear walk, start from either the city end or Meadowhall. There is a superb website for the 5 weirs walk.

The best place to start IMO is Meadowhall, and then walk back to town from there. Watch out though, there's one section near Attercliffe Road which is closed after 5.30 in the afternoon, and the spider bridge near the Wicker was also closed last tiem I was down there.

Here is a map of the route.

Personally, when I've walked this route, I have started in the city centre and instead of ending my walk at Meadowhall, I do a u-turn at Meadowhall and head back to city following the canal and ending the walk at Victoria Quays. If you want to make a round walk of it, I would certainly recommend the above.

No worries. There's always time to tinker with the name. Yes, they do let you change it, if you ask nicely ;)
