There was a black cloud over the 15 people who set off from Wyming Brook, accompanied by rave music from somewhere on the moors.  We crossed the brook, 3 brave members via the stepping stones and 12 via the bridge.  By the time we had a break over Lodge Lane, the rain never materialised and the rave music had ceased. We completed the ridge walk past Hallamshire Golf Course and descended  into Rivelin prior to climbing the hill to Nethergate..  Due to the warmth of the day, a water stop was taken here.  We then took the ridge walk and came down to the end of Rivelin Dams.  Rain started at the top and continued until after lunch, which was taken down by the river. The Sun emerged as we took the path back to Wyming Brook, providing a lovely finish to the walk up by the waterfalls, allowing plenty of photo opportunities.  Refreshments were taken at the Malin Bridge to recharge our batteries.
