Albert T Smith   10 #25 Posted March 16, 2007 I will endeavor to be there about 7.00 along with, John 'Campy' Burrows small book of about 25 circular walks starting from Totley with varying in distance of 3 - 10 miles each. I've also got the, 'Round Greater Sheffield Walk', which is approx 60 Miles in length but suitably split up into linear sections, or I've got the ones that I've walked and easily plotted on a map. (with no booze). What's the pubs food like? Can I get more than A Yorkshire Pudding & Gravy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Albert T Smith   10 #26 Posted March 18, 2007 I`ll be going there straight from work, which will be 6-6.30 and will have something to eat before the others turn up. If you arrive earlyish look for a good-looking guy reading a book. I`ll be sat next to him!  That will be Me! If its not Snowing on Monday evening, If it is I'll be sat here awaiting news of whats happenning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Don_Kiddick   11 #27 Posted March 18, 2007 Taxman has confirmed that he has pressed his finest tuxedo and brushed off his best silk top hat and will also be in attendance.  Well, we've already got a challenge! Forummer Pedro1948 has asked for short walk suggestions, so get thinking caps on for that. There's been a couple of good ideas already on his thread, but we should be able to expand on that.  I think I might have to start attending Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Kristian   11 #28 Posted March 19, 2007 Really sorry Guys, but Meaks and I won't be attending. Got really cold coming home from work, and just can't face venturing out again.  I'm sure you'll all have a good time.  K x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

feargal   21 #30 Posted March 20, 2007 I must apologise for my non-attendance as well! I had unexpected "issues" and a horribly busy evening, so couldn't manage. Could've done with a nice pint or two by the time I'd done... still, that means double for me next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
scoobz   10 #31 Posted March 20, 2007 Good meeting with at least 30 there at the last count, although some of them might have been non-forumners! (Did the barman agree to come with us in the end?) All people present were/are of the opinion that the Walking Group is going from strength to strength, with a healthy number of walkers enjoying some really good walks recently. It was also agreed at the meeting that any further attempts to disrupt the "atmosphere" of the group were to be ignored! The following walks have been suggested for the forthcoming weeks/months :- Wharncliffe Woods - See seperate thread for this Sunday, 25th Worsborough park and Dove Trail Derwent & Ladybower Millers Dale Dovedale Chatsworth Wentworth (again!)  Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Alport Castle View point really on a clear day must be one of the best in Britain. John Derry wrote 'Across the Derbyshire Moors'. Had it not been for men like him. We would not have a walking group interested in visiting the Peak District. It would be like people in Manchester visiting Stockport for a walk!!
