Hallam Deanery Prayer Pilgrimage: detailed route Overview: Total distance by most likely route = 16.1 miles
Fulwood
Lodge Moor The strategy behind this route is: Stannington To get some of the longer & Malin Bridge hillier sections done early Wadsley while energy is good
Hillsborough & Wadsley Bridge To begin & end in a place Owlerton where parking should be easy
Philadelphia This is the longest day of the Walkley walking routes. It could be a
Timothy Crookes cycling route but against this are a) the early steep hills & The Vine b) the later very busy city Broomhill roads Thomas Crookes
Ranmoor

Hallam Deanery Prayer Pilgrimage: detailed route Stage 2: Lodge Moor to Stannington, Christ Church S6 6DB Key issue = crossing the Rivelin Brook. Options:
Via Lodge Lane & Bingley House = shortest. 2.1 miles & 45 min
Along the top of Blackbrook Wood & across FB by Tofts = longest. 2.7 miles & an hour with steep up & down There are clear FP signs on the A57 & Rivelin Valley roads, so this looks a decent path. Definitely more scenic than walking on the road & probably worth it. Care needed in crossing the A57 in particular
