This is a 3 mile walk with Sheffield Walking Group (20s-30's) but all are welcome. It is part of the Walk Sheffield walking festival. You can keep your hat (and everything else!) on for this linear walk exploring a few of the Full Monty film locations in the Hillsborough and Langsett area. From Parkwood Springs we'll come down to Infirmary Rd, up to Ruskin Park, finishing at the Burton St Foundation where a number of scenes were filmed. Some uneven downhill paths and some uphills. Finishing at the New Barrack Tavern for food / drinks.
Start: Shirecliffe Rd/Cooks Wood Road (entrance to Parkwood Springs) End: New Barrack Tavern, Penistone Rd

We will explore some of the less-visited parts of Parkwood Springs, starting and finishing at Pitsmoor Post Office, Burngreave Road.
