Todays walk in detail

A pleasant group of 17 of us set off from Rural Lane car park. We immediately walked through the shaded woodland area of Wadsley common heading towards Long lane. After walking alongside Hillsborough golf course we turned aside through open countryside to Castle Hills, where we had our elevenses. After passing through Upper Bradfield and the church, we headed down towards Damflask reservoir. A level, shaded area ended with a brisk climb to Dungworth. Lunch was taken overlooking Loxley valley. A walk down to Rowel Bridge took us alongside the River Loxley, before heading back uphill to Loxley and Wadsley common. Refreshments were taken at the Wadsley Jack.  Thanks to everyone for your company and especially to Annie and Andrew for backmarking.
