hi anon. as far as I know, several small groups are staying in various houses in H'sage, while other people are staying in Sheffield. other options right on the train line would be Grindleford and Edale, and even Chinley.

For anyone not wanting to have 4 consecutive hilldays, there is of course the rather smashing (but I would say that, wouldn't I) City of Sheffield Short walk on this very website to consider: https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/city-walk/sheffield/

N=25 on the trip, in better than forecast weather,with brilliant group dynamics, and group dinners every evening. No (known) injuries and a lot of the various walks options getting used.
I can't call it anything else but a total success. Thanks to everyone
