I caught the Stocksbridge bus to a location about a mile north of Wharncliffe Side where the service road for More Hall Reservoir starts. As I got off the bus I tripped up over a raised white line road marking; fortunately I only stumbled and didn't fall. The road continues along the northern bank of the reservoir towards Broomhead Reservoir. For the entire length there was the sound of conkers falling from trees, I've never seen so many before.
Once I'd reached the second reservoir I took a bridleway heading up to a road. The road was uphill, and so was the next footpath going up to Walker Edge, where a road goes along the top.
I was now heading back eastwards and was looking for my next footpath. I knew where I was and so didn't look at the map, I wasn't sure though if the path would involve more climbing; I calculate I'd already done 400ft in a short distance and didn't fancy any more. I reached the path and it looked like a climb of a further 200ft and so I just carried on going down the road towards Brightholmlee and then Wharncliffe Side where I caught the bus back to Sheffield on the main road.
