A varied linear walk from Lodge Moor to Hathersage via the Stanedge Walk
We shall walk along the Conduit Path to the Redmires Dam. Then a steady climb up the Causeway path to Stanedge Pole. We then follow field paths down via North Lees and Cow Close to Hathersage.
Catch the 09:48 51 bus from AG11 bus stop on Arundel Gate behind the Library and take it as far as the Lodge Moor terminus.
Return from Hathersage via either 14:16 272 bus or 14:46 train .
Please note: the 51 bus is not able to get to Lodge Moor this week due to road works on Redmires Road. This work is due to finish on Friday (23rd), so we should still be able to get to our starting place at Lodge Moor terminus without any problems next Tuesday.
IF the work hasn't been finished and the 51 is still diverted, we shall catch the 120 bus from High Street instead and take that to its terminus and start the walk from there using what becomes the Conduit Path from Crimicar Lane. This will add about a mile (and c20 mins) to the walk. When I recce'd the walk this morning I still arrived in Hathersage in time to catch the 14:16 272 bus back to Sheffield.
However, this is a back-up reserve plan - PLEASE go to the no 51 Arundel Gate stop in the first instance for the 09:48 bus.
