Full description: 

Inspired by the Easter hunt spirit, we’ll be bouncing like bunnies between the beautiful Loxley and Rivelin Valleys! Starting at Malin Bridge, we will follow the gentle flow of the Loxley River through picturesque Storrs Wood before tackling a short but steep bunny-hop climb up to Stannington. But what goes up must come down—we will hop straight into the lush Rivelin Valley, where the river will guide us all the way back to Malin Bridge.

Public transport or car sharing options: 

The blue tramline to Malin Bridge leaves Sheffield station at 10.09. Alternatively, bus 81 leaves Arundel Gate at 10.10 (get off at the "Holme Lane/Stannington Road" stop). Please note that for the tram, return tickets are cheaper than single. Parking is available at the beginning of both valleys, but you may have to walk a bit to find us at Malin Bridge.
