The route started from Marr with 1.4km of road walking along Church Lane with no pavement. A grassy track led onto a gravelled cycle track which we followed as it weaved back and forth....

On leaving Denaby Nature Reserve we had a short road walk, which had a pavement except over the River Dearne bridge. From here we emerged onto another muddy ploughed field crossing, with no visible footpath at the time, but it improved after a bit. This was mostly a good walk, with only short road sections....

A mix of road and community woodland walking. To avoid more road walking this route makes use of Brodsworth Community Woodland one of the many colliery spoil heaps in this area. Not sure where we wait to meet on the road at the station so perhaps the church or park would be a better bet....

A very mixed route, cycle tracks through post industrial sites, field paths and a busy road. From Conisbrough the route descends along a surfaced but at times steep path into the valley of the River Don where we passed the railway station. Cyclists are provided with a long gentle slope but we took a steep climb to the Trans Pennine Trail which follows an old rail route alongside a large colliery spoil heap of Cadeby Main Colliery now greened over. The woodland walk was good with wide paths but the majority of visitors don't use the path to Marr as this again was unmarked across the ploughed field although we did have a yellow topped post, provided by Doncaster Rambers, to head for....

From the Marr meeting point, Church Lane is a short pavement walk west. This takes us to Green Lane, which is wide enough to be safe, and we cross under the motorway bridge to find a little path left that twists to join the main wide track through Brodsworth Community Woodlands, an old colliery tip now a country park....

The south end is fine and very pleasant, but I can't go higher than three stars because there are a couple of places where road walking on fairly busy roads is needed, both unavoidable, and one field path where we had to cross a waterlogged ploughed field. Having arrived in Conisbrough by train, I investigated the alternative path up to the town that slants through the wood from the top of Windsor Road - this is a good surfaced path but there are a couple of steps and some slippery stones, so when we started out group walk I was happy to go with Mary's plan. We turn right along the pavement (which is separated from the road by a wall in places), then cross with care and head up Hangmanstone Lane....
