Full description:

Starting by Moscar lodge we head north to Boot's Folly and views over Strines reservoir. Dropping down to the valley we follow the north edge of Dale Dyke reservoir to the dam and past memorial to the 1864 Sheffield flood. We go up steeply then down to the adjacent valley to follow Agden Reservoir down to Low Bradfeild. Then along Damflask and up Ricket bank to a possible refreshment stop near Dungworth. Then over the hill to Rivlin which we will follow downstream before a final ascent to finish in Crookes. Despite title I am not expecting to many Bogs!

Please note this is a linear walk, and at 14 miles in length we will need to go at a reasonable pace. A decent level of fitness is required.

Public transport or car sharing options:

Catch the bus 257 at 09:25am from Sheffield Interchange, or later in Crosspool.
