Blacka Moor, Big Moor, Longshaw Estate and Fox House

I caught the Castleton bus from Sheffield and got off at the first stop inside the Peak District, on Hathersage Road where the footpath goes into Blacka Moor Nature Reserve. I walked through the woods and then out onto open countryside on Totley Moor. I made my way across the moor to the Owler Bar road and then continued onto the next moor, which I've always called 'Big Moor.'



 










I didn't attempt to do any navigation; since I lost my map (and my mapcase) a couple of months ago I find it annoying having to keep stopping and getting my map out of my rucksack - fortunately I've found a cheap source of secondhand maps...£5 for six. I just followed the paths; none of them seemed to be leading me anywhere in particular but eventually I spotted people walking along the path which goes along the top of White Edge. I joined them and headed north to the Longshaw Estate and then the bus stop at Fox House.
