August’s RambAle saw us walking around the backwacks, gennels and nature reserves in the Woodhouse and Woodhouse Mill area while visiting the Stag Inn, Oxbow micropub and the Royal pubs for some refreshment.
We were in the company of and led by members of the Steel City Hash House Harriers (part of an international group of non-competitive social running clubs which began in Malaysia back in 1938, who term themselves a “drinking club with a running problem”) who joined us for the day and our 4.5-mile circular walk. An enjoyable day out in good company.
For the Saturday 26 September RambAle we travel a little outside our area but continue with an ongoing theme of the Chesterfield Canal. We shall set off walking from the Mallard Inn at Worksop railway station at 1pm for a 5.5-mile walk to the Chequers Inn at Ranby, mostly along the canal towpath. We return to Worksop by bus to catch a train back to Sheffield. The recommended train from Sheffield is at 11:38, which offers about 40 minutes to relax with a beer in the Mallard before the walk.
