I've got a lift back once in 25 years
If you get the bus (272 bus station across the road from the train station) It will drop you off at fox house. Return is probably like £4.50 and you save walking about 4 miles or whatever.
Walked from Hathersage train station to the plantation on Thursday. That worked pretty well. Can't say I'd like to do the walk too regularly though. It was quite a trek. Scenic though. Stashed a load of stuff in the lockers at the bus station too. Handy.
I frequently get the 272 or the 65 to Fox house (only a quid for students!). The stop after fox house on the 272 is directly opposite the end of the main track through the valley which saves a couple of minutes walking. If you stay on the 272 a bit longer it stops at Surprise view which is ideal for Lawrencefield and Millstone. There is a two hour gap with no return buses on week nights but just stick your thumb out and usually get picked up in a couple of minutes.Quote from: boxmonkey on June 11, 2016, 05:43:31 pmWalked from Hathersage train station to the plantation on Thursday.

Handy.I used to get the train from Manchester to Hathersage and walk to stanage. I think out of ten times I only had to walk the full way once, usually got a lift before getting out of Hathersage. Including one guy running out of his house to offer me a lift! Thought he was a bit too keen at first but turned out to just be decent guy.Does anyone know which bus stops at the burbage bridge stop or is it redundant? Google has not helped..
