A New Dawn

Well this is embarrassing. It has been a long, long time since my last blog.  In that time I have moved out of Sheffield. But what does this mean for the blog? I can literally here none of you say. Well I have not moved far from the Sheffield area, to Bradwell in the peak district in fact. So the blog will continue but on a monthly basis as I will likely only get time to do a Sheffield walk this often. The new blog will now come out on the last Monday of each month.

 So what do I have for you for you after all this time? Well prepare yourself for disappointment as it does not feature Sheffield at all. I have decided the best way to restart is to show you a little something of the area I have moved to. So if its OK we will continue. This month is a walk from Bradwell to Castleton in the hope valley taking in scenery along the way. There is more of Bradwell than Castleton as the weather began to turn. I do intend to return soon to do it more justice. Brace yourselves, its a long one I hope you enjoy.

The next blog will return to Sheffield and be published on 24th of November

So I've missed another week and this weeks blog is super late. Unfortunately I have been very busy lately with a new house to oragnise and a world cup has just kicked off. Next week I will be away also as I am going to be wedding venue viewing. Its all very busy.For this reason I will be breaking this blog into two parts as it was a long walk and it deserves it anyway.

This week I walked along the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal from Victoria quays to Meadowhall. The Canal runs for 3.9 miles from Tinsley where it leaves the river Don on the way into the centre of Sheffield. Opened in 1819 its main purpose as part of a bigger network was to allow transit of goods to and from the north sea via the humber. Nowadays it is far more pleasure than business with facilities for narrow boats, fishing and wildlife.

As all but the first three of the photos are from the canal I have resisted the urge to caption the photos. I hope as always you enjoy the pictures. Please check out the Twitter the Facebook and my Etsy shop.
