🌿🥾 BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY – FINAL INFO & PARKING 🔥🌞
Our busy organisers are out waymarking the route to make it nice and easy to follow - and it really is looking like a fantastic walk!
I tried it myself a couple of weeks ago and there’s some lovely variety along the way - from rolling farmland with views towards Crane Moor, to the rocky crags overlooking the Don Valley.
🚗 Parking
If you’re driving to Wortley, please help us make sure the event doesn’t cause problems for people living in the village.
And, please don’t park on the main A629, as parked vehicles there can create a hazard.
Our friends at Sheffield Retired Greyhounds have very kindly given us permission to use the old Howbrook Lane for parking - please see the map.
If you park on Howbrook Lane, please keep to the left and make sure you’re not causing an obstruction.
🐕 And while you’re there…
Why not pop in and say hello to the team at Sheffield Retired Greyhounds and see the wonderful work they do finding safe, loving homes for retired racing greyhounds at the end of their track careers?
They’re open 8.30am–1pm and are located towards the end of the lane.
🥓 Fancy some breakfast first?
Our friends at Wortley Farm Shop will be open from 9am, so if you arrive early you can always call in for a breakfast sandwich before the walk — and they’ll then be busy getting ready to fire up the BBQ later in the day!
🌞 Just a reminder of what’s happening…
📅 Bank Holiday Monday 31 August
📍 Setting off from and returning to Wortley Club, Reading Room Lane, Wortley
💧 Don’t forget your water!
Please make sure you bring enough water with you for the walk. We’ll also have a couple of water refill stations along the route, so you can top up if you need to.
All the walks and the Children’s Trail are completely FREE to take part in.
🥾 Main Circular Walk – approx. 8 miles | 10am start
🌳 Shorter Walk – approx. 4.5 miles | 10am start
A gentler countryside stroll which follows the same route as the main walk to begin with - so if you start the 8-miler and decide you’ve done enough, you can take the shorter option instead!
🐑 Children’s Animal Trail – 11am start
A much shorter, more playful trail for our younger visitors, with animals to spot along the way.
🔥 Then it’s BBQ time!
Wortley Farm Shop will be serving plenty of tasty food to purchase. And whatever the weather decides to do in the afternoon, the BBQ will still be on - if it does rain, we’ll head inside and carry on enjoying the food and a few drinks!
🎯 We’ll also have traditional outdoor summer games during the afternoon for children, families and the young at heart.
🍻 Or if walking isn’t your thing, just come along for the BBQ, a drink and a great afternoon at the Club.
Everyone is welcome — bring your family, bring your friends, and come and enjoy Bank Holiday Monday with us! 🌞🌿
