Changes and cancellations
Week commencing Monday 10th August 2026 - There are NO walks on 13th August because the Met Office have issued an Amber extreme heat watrning for Thursday. In the meantime there is an amber health warning in place which means that you need to be mindful of the weather, particularly if you are affected by the heat.
The walk at Woodhouse on Friday 14th August beginning at 1.30 has also been cancelled because of the weather.
If you choose to attend available walks this week please ensure you wear sun-screen and a hat, you are well hydrated at the start and carry extra water with you. The walk leaders will choose the shadiest routes for their walks and quite possibly shorten the time you are out walking. Your volunteer walk leaders may decide to cancel their walk at the last minute if they feel it is unsafe to walk because of the heat conditions locally.
Week commencing Monday 17th August 2026 - no cancellations have been notified for this week.
We are sorry that Step out Sheffield is no longer able to provide a Wellbeing Walk in the Handsworth area. The Handsworth walk had been running for 22 years.
The Richmond walk has had to make alternative arrangements whilst the roof at St Catherine's is being secured. Instead of meeting in the reception area inside the building they meet outside on the pavement. And instead of returning to the church after the walk for refreshments they are using the pavilion in the park. A date for completion of the building works has not yet been given but is not expected to be before the end of October 2026.
Gwen Craddock, a 5th year medical student, spent her community placement visiting some of our walks to film shots for a promotional video. We hope it gives a flavour of the fun we have whilst out walking - whatever the weather. Click on the link below and enjoy!
