Houndkirk Moor – Redmires Resevoir – Stanage Edge

Houndkirk Moor – Redmires Resevoir – Stanage Edge 26th October 2014

Something a bit more substantial after last weeks short walk.

First Leg – same as  last week. Higger Tor down to Sheffield Country Walk. From there on this was a new walk which took me to the edge of Sheffield enjoying spectacular views of the City from the edge of Houndkirk Moor.
