This stage of the boundary walk was a relatively short stretch from Wortley to Langsett. Colin, Bev, Christine and me set out crossing the River Don into pleasant woodland. We took the path up through the woods and out onto the rough pastures of Hunshelf Bank passing several farms via old trackways and paths.

The path then drops to Underbank and we had to take to the main road until an old railway running parallel to the road can be accessed. We then followed the railway to Langsett and then through fields to the car park.

This stretch of the walk was in the main quite pleasant apart from the section along the main road and took in some semi-moorland countryside. However the views over the urban sprawl of Stocksbridge were an almost constant reminder of the town's proximity.
