At present, you shouldn’t travel outside of your area for daily exercise but this is a list worth saving for when we can get back out. If you feel that you’re a bit of a beginner, try something easy like Langsett or Agden! Moderate walking may take you somewhere a bit further like Wharncliffe crags. Maybe you fancy a challenge? If you think you can hack it, why not try out your thigh strength on Jacob’s Ladder. Sheffield has some of the most wonderful scenic walks on offer so if you’re close enough, make the most of it! Just remember to stay hydrated and wear sensible shoes.
