Walks in and around S35 Area
| Published: 4th January 2007 21:43 |
General Note
Most walks listed here are intended primarily for Ramblers' Association members. Non-members are welcome to join us as guests on two or three walks, though if you walk with a group regularly you will be expected to join the Ramblers.
Please make sure that you are fit enough to undertake the walk you intend to join. If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first: it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted.
Most Ramblers' walks are off-road in rural areas. Please have suitable footwear and clothing for the walk you intend to join, and bring some food and drink, even if the walk includes a pub or café break. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. When in doubt, contact the organisers or the walk leader in advance.
For your own and others' safety please read and abide by any advice and guidelines issued by the organisers, and the instructions of the walk leader. Though walking is inherently one of the safest outdoor activities, no activity is completely without risk and it is your responsibility to behave sensibly and to minimise the potential for accidents to occur.

Sheffield Group printable Programme
Sheffield Group has walks on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays, and easy 'Walking Out' walks on Thursdays and Saturdays. Except for coach rambles all use public transport, and bus or train details are given in the description. People travelling by car are welcome to join the group at the start of the walk, but they should check whether the walk is circular - ie returning to the same point - or linear, in which case the walk will finish at another point where public transport is available.
Sheffield Ramblers also support the Sheffield Visually Impaired Walking Group who offer a regular programme of led walks. For more see www.sviwg.org.uk, contact 0114 234 1217 or write to SVIWG c/o Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind, 5 Mappin Street, Sheffield S1 4DT.
