Walk description
From the lay-by on Stony Ridge Road (A625) we make our way across moorland to join Houndkirk Road, which is quite stony and uneven. Turning left across Burbage Moor we make our way to Burbage Rocks and then to Upper Burbage Bridge where we then head out towards, the only real uphill of the day, Higgor Tor. Downhill to traverse Hathersage Moor eventually reaching Surprise View and crossing the busy road to take a sunken path down to Burbage Brook.
