Winter Walk and Meal

It was decided that this year, instead of the usual pre-Christmas event, we would hold our annual walk / meal in January. The run-up to Christmas can get very hectic for us all, so we are trying something different this time.

Please note that due to the size of the group the food will be served by table, therefore each table of 10 people will have hot food but tables will not be all served at exactly the same time. You will be allocated a table at the start of the walk and are asked to sit at that table to ensure your menu choices are served correctly.

Full details of the walk, which will be approximately six miles, will be posted by the walks coordinator on the walks thread shortly.

Time Lunch: Approx 3.00pm, depending on weather conditions and walking speed.
Cost: 2 course-£17.00, 3 course-£23.00 (this includes a £3.00 subsidy for members who have paid their 2023 subs by 30th November). Please note that anyone attending the subsidised meal at the Commercial will only receive one subsidy.

Deadline: Full amount must be paid into the Sheffield Walkers Bank Account by Sunday, 27th November.

DETAILS OF THE WALK

Designed for greatest access to members, the day kicks off in The Travellers Rest car park with home-baked specials a la Paul, washed down by warmed mulled wine or juice (cups supplied).

After a 3 mile riverside walk to Castleton, there will be free time to recoup before a 3.5 miles return to the pub. 4 simple stiles to Castleton, 3 simple stiles back. By request, I have reduced the route slightly to avoid more return stiles which means ½ mile roadside walking.

Please note: at the time of writing, the paths are very muddy and unlikely to change. However, not tricky as the route is flat.

We’re due to eat at 15:00, non-walkers of course can arrive any time beforehand.
