Good photos as always, Lee.
This is an area I’ve walked a fair bit this year..albeit in opposite direction..usually got off train at Totley and walked through to Hathersage, then got a bus or train back to Sheffield.
I think there’s one or two advantages in doing it that way for me (e.g.it means doing a longish steep uphill plod at start of walk rather than a steep descent near end...and I don’t particularly like steep descents towards end of a walk.)
