Difficulty: Easy (7.5 miles)

Start Location: Middlewood Park and Ride

End Location: Lady’s Bridge

Inspired by the new map of the Upper Don Trail - this is an easy, flat walk that takes us from Middlewood, up to Oughtibridge and then back down the trail into the city centre. A mixture of river path and pavement walking, it’s perfect for those looking to enjoy a stroll in the sun. The path coming down from Oughtibridge along the River Don will be especially beautiful in this weather.

Currently (Wednesday) the temperature is forecast for 24 degrees and partly cloudy. So, plan accordingly (drinks/sun cream). We’ll try to set off as close to 9:30 as possible.

We will (of course) find somewhere to stop for a drink after the walk is finished.

This is not a circular walk - However, we will finish within a couple of minutes’ walk from a tram stop and the yellow tram will take you right back to the park and ride. You can also walk back if you feel like it (about an hour on pavement).

Transport: The Yellow trams arrive at 9:15 and 9:24. The last time I checked, it was free to park at Middlewood Park and Ride as they are replacing their machines. I think it’s only £1 if not.
