Date: Sunday 1st April
Set off time: 10.30am. ( suggest you arrive by 10.15 latest)
Meeting: on the path near the wood sawmill in Eccellsall Woods on Abbey Lane. B6068
Parking: alongside the road in car parking bays, however it is a popular spot so you may have to park further up the road and walk back.
Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Eccellsal ... m&z=13
Route: uphill through the woods crossing Eccellsall road south, via Whitley hall, then up the limb valley to the Norfolk arms at Ringinglow for refreshments, then back down again.
Distance: approximatley 4-5 miles, around 2-3 hour depending on the pub stop.
Grade: level paths but some steady climbs uphill
Fee: £1 per dog please. (yearly membership fees have been scrapped)
Please TEXT your attendance no later than the day before the walk, so that numbers can be checked.
NB: this walk has been opened to non dog owners from the City Socialising group, who are aware it is a dog walking/social walk.
Under the new guidelines for this group, owners must be responsible for their dogs safety and behaviour at all times. Dogs that are causing a disruption to the group, members of the public or other walkers will be asked to be put on the lead. Please be aware that dogs can get into difficulty or lost if owners are distracted with talking and not observant of their dogs behaviour or location. please check your third party or veterinary insurance to make sure you would be covered for any accidents caused by your dog as I have cancelled the walking group insurance.
Please feel free to make suggestions for the next 6 months of walks, expecially if you know of good routes with no sheep of around 2 hours. I will add them to the list which i'm organising and hope to upload on the website.
Please let me know if you wish to unsubscribe from the group.
Many thanks for your kind support and constructive feedback. Most of you have understood that difficulties i've had in keeping this group running given my other time constraints of running a business, and problems earlier on this year with my own dogs and family and health, and I do hope it continues for the sake of all.

( 2.9 / 1769 )This month we have gained 5 new members and 7 new dogs. Welcome to you all. We’ve also had 6 new enquiries, so the group is steadily growing which is great!
We had a ‘get to know you’ social at the Cricket Inn, Dore and 5 of the new members turned up. Unfortunately the BBq was cancelled due to rain but we all managed to squeeze in around a big table inside.
The end of July walk was on a beautiful sunny day. We started at Shilito Woods car park, off the A621 Sheffield to Baslow road and crossed the open moors towards Owler Bar, the doubled back near Holmesfield and Fox lane through woodland. It was a great walk with lots of free running for the dogs except there were numerous gates which were locked! We had to lift the dogs over 2 of them as there were no stiles, including Cara an Estrela Mountain dog the size of a St Bernard! So that’s a black mark on our list of trialled walks.
August walk details as follows;
Date: Sunday 22nd August
Time: 10.30 am
Location: Holmesfield and Miilthorpe.

( 3 / 1528 )We are to be joined by Clare Balding and Lucy Lunt from BBC radio 4 so they can do a piece on our Walking group for there Ramblers program. This is very exciting as with us being a new walking group in Sheffield it will help promote our responsible attitude to walking through the country side with our dogs and hopefully encourage other people to follow in our foot steps. Further news of when the broadcast will be aired to follow.
