Walk Name | The postponed Solstice walk: Sheffield Round Walk sunrise to sunset |
Description | This walk has been postponed from Saturday 21 December 2024 is the winter solstice and there is 7.5 hr of daylight between sunrise and sunset. What better way of celebrating that than walking from sunrise (8.19 a.m.) to sunset (15.48 p.m.). So can we ‘do’ the Round Sheffield walk in that time? Mick has done it on his own within that time over the last 2 or 3 solstices. Come along and try! The Round Sheffield walk: Hunters Bar to Ringinglow to Abbeydale to Graves Park to Meersbrook to Nether Edge and back to Hunters Bar. Mostly through parks and countryside. |
