Episode Four - Big Moor and the Stone Circles
Jamie Dakota
Welcome to
Hiking with Howl
Episode four
The recording is meant act as a guide if you’re taking the walk for yourself, think of us as your audio companions to highlight points of interest and generally offer some conversation during sections of your walk.
If you’re listening at home, enter an immersive experience of nature, crunching leaves, trickling streams, high winds at times, and two friends holding discourse in the outdoors.
This month JD is joined by Robin Heath as they undertake a 6km loop on Big Moor just outside Sheffield. Robin has been leading tours on Big Moor all summer as he takes guests to find the 4000 year old stone circles of the area, and teaches them about their history. In the episode you can follow the same route, and hear about the history of the landscape while you walk, or you can listen at home as we discuss a range of Bronze age conversation.
It’s worth mentioning that the podcast is no substitute for a map, and the ability to read it. You’ll be walking at times in some pretty remote areas:
Make sure you’re confident in your abilities
Tell someone where you’re going and when you’re due back
Take a rucksack with a sensible set of kit
We’re also publishing each route through the Ordnance Survey online map service so members can access the detailed route card.

There is a high chance that you won’t have phone signal for the entirety of the walk, so be sure to download the episode to your
