With Martin and Tommy. This was Tommy’s (age 7) first hillwalk, an easy classic circuit very near Sheffield. The weather gods were kind and gave us glorious spring sunshine. We parked at the bog National Trust carpark at Longshaw Lodge. From here a path lead over the B6521 and avoids the busy A6187 by leading through woods alongside it as far as Burbage Bridge leaving only a very short section on the road to reach the start of the path up Carl Wark that starts at the Toad’s Mouth, named for a prominent bit of rock suggestive of precisely that. From here the way is very easy to find, straight up on a good path to the old fort on Carl Wark where we idled for a little in theb sunshine then on, steeply but straightforwardly to Higger Tor where we idled a little more. There is a big tor on top which makes a natural arch and you can see daylight through it from a long way off. From then it’s a very easy descent to Upper Burbage Bridge which today was very busy indeed. This is never really a walk for lovers of solitude. Homewards from here along Burbage Rocks can be done two ways as one path follows the top, another the base of the crags. We went the top way and were soon enough back at the car park ready for a spot of late lunch at the Fox House.
