Moderate

Much had been made in recent club walk reports regarding the muddy conditions, inevitable at this time of year, so we aborted our planned route and set about finding a mud-free walk! Hmmm? 20 of us set off through Elsecar Park, past the Band Stand and Cafe onto the Barnsley Boundary Walk and  open countryside. It was fine but the weather forecast was not good. We walked through Skier's Spring Wood (the site used in the filming of Kes), then had an early break at ??? a newly created Nature Reserve which was specially created to take the water run-off from the nearby giant EVRI warehouse.

On a dull, cool but dry day, 4 hardy souls and myself set out from Aberford to try and conquer a section of the Ancient Kingdom of Elmet, one of the last independent Kingdoms of England. After saying hello to a 'lady', dressed today in a Mary Quant 60s style way, we made our way down a wooded path to view the 2018 England Tree of the Year. After crossing Long Lane, we headed across Garforth Golf course. We then took elevenses.

On a bright sunny and very clear cold day 23 members enjoyed a beautiful walk from Winscar reservoir. We started off up towards the Hamlet of Harden and then crossed the abandoned quarry where we had glorious views from height across the reservoir. The walk continued along part of the Holme valley circular walk to Raynard Clough where we found a warm sunny bank to enjoy our coffee break. We the joined part of the Kirklees Way past Elysium farm to Crow Edge.

0.0 miles - 15 of us set off from the Castle and walked down to the River Don then along the bank heading upstream. We then walked through The Crags, a pleasant area with a miriad of tarmac paths. Over the road and dropped down through Denaby Wood and into Old Denaby village. 

20 people set off on a very cold morning, as we approached Elsecar 3 herons were spotted, they took flight, which was a wonderful sight. coffee break was taken at The Needles eye, we carried on past Hoober Stand towards Greasbrough lake's where lunch was taken, we didn't linger there, it was so cold!! Walking towards the house we saw another heron, and a wonderful group of deer,  as we neared the house we saw 2 stags on the lawn in front of the house, many of our group took 'photos of this, so picturesque worthy of 'Country Life'. We arrived back all intact. Many thanks to my backmarkers.

Cancelled due to icy conditions.

Walk cancelled due to bad weather.

It was a cold but sunny and crisp morning as 26 well clad walkers gathered at Old Moor for a 6 mile walk.We set off following the side of Manvers Lake towards the lakeside cafe where a brief stop was made for toilets. We headed north and after following the river Dearne for a while stopped for a break. Continuing along Car Head Lane we negotiated  many iced over puddles, which later became deeper and more tricky to get round, however without any fuss everyone made it. We eventually got to Marles Bridge and joined the Trans Pennine Trail back to Old Moor.

There were 21 of us on my walk starting from the Gun Park car park near Wentworth Woodhouse main entrance gate. It was a perfect summer's day for walking-  slight breeze and high clouds and the sun breaking through about 20 minutes into the walk. We made our way along  Cortworth Lane, turning left up past Cortworth Lodge, on to Street Lane then up to Hoober Stand. We stopped for a tea/coffee break there and enjoyed great views on this clear day. Then we made our way to Upper Haugh, zigzagged on fields and paths down to Nether Haugh.

Twenty-eight people, including five new walkers met up for this Thursday's short walk. We set off for our first ascent; the slopes of the once black Kiveton Colliery slag heap - now transformed into a beautiful Country Park, with stunning views towards Sheffield and The Peak District. After descending, we headed west, through fields of barley, towards the outskirts of Woodall. Here we turned north to tunnel beneath the M1. Following the narrowing track, we descended into Norwood and unknowingly passed Woodall Pond (hidden by the dense summer foliage of deciduous woodland).
