Weekend to cover much of the below:
Several smaller circuits / walks
Barbrook 1 Circle
http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=297
<http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=297>
Barbrook 2 Circle
lots of cairns , too.
back to cars. drive to north of the moor
Barbrook 3 Circle
Brown Edge Circle
Lunch - pub at Owler Bar / packed lunch (if I bring a packed lunch, I'll
likely poke around the Lady's Cross area for a while)
short drive to parking for Barbrook 4 Ring cairn and couple cross shafts
short drive to park for Barbrook 5 'circle' and various features. Maybe
difficult to locate.
Wellies, or at least changes of socks and footwear needed for most of
the above!
Gardom's Edge area:

Standing Stone
Cairns
Rock Art
Huge Neolithic Enclosure
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2429 (very good content)
Lunch at the Robin Hood?
Drive on via Beeley for good afternoon walk looking for features... some
easier to find than others!
We find what we find, and what we don't, nevermind...
Easily findable:
Park Gate Circle
Hob Hurst's House
Not so easy...
Various stones and remains of possible Four Poster circles on Gibbet Moor
Recommend a good poke around on Stubob's excellent contributions on TMA
for that area:

Depending on who we have on the day, we could actually do a linear walk
here, dropping cars at either end of a route, to save back tracking.
Looking at the data input on my GPS a linear walk would make better sense.
