What we’re about
This group is for outdoor and nature enthusiasts! :)
We offer free outdoor events (typically hikes / walks, but also bike rides, etc) in the Peak District national park and Sheffield surrounding area.
Our events are a great opportunity to stay healthy and active (physically and mentally), connect with other people, spend time in the nature and view beautiful sceneries.
Everyone is welcome to join our outdoor adventures group.
Our walks typically last a full day. There is no climbing involved, but occasionally our walks can include an easy scramble.
Each walk is lead by people that know the area well. For every event the route is shared in advance (with a GPX file and a Komoot link).
Important information:
Anyone joining our events is responsible for their safety and health (including guests). The group does not have any insurance policy covering injuries. If you RSVP to our events, you must agree to these conditions.
If you have any questions, please contact the event organiser and/or write a message in the comments section of the event.

Elsecar to Sheffield - LINEAR - 14 miles Moderate
Elsecar Rail Station, S74 8EN, Elsecar, GBThis is a nice walk with a different feel to the usual Peak District walks. Not hill after hill :( The route is through fields, country tracks, woodland and slowly becoming more urbanised into Sheffield where we finish.
We start by leaving Elsecar village onto Hoyland common passing through fields to Wentworth Village which has a nice church. Descending a little to Wentworth Woodhouse an old manor house which is a highlight of the walk. We descend gradually on a nice track to Morley pond.
