Bolton-upon-Dearne Station to Mexborough Station
A lovely, easy-to-follow route mixing footpath, field, gravel and country lanes and with a flood bank along the north side of the River Dearne and a final stretch through a housing estate. The riverside section can be wet and slippery. Passes the RSPB Adwick Washland reserve; the National Cycle Network route south of the river Dearne is a safer bet in wet conditions.
Easy: 6km, moderate ascents.
Lowfield Lane through the RSPB Adwick Washland reserve can flood deeply (almost knee-high) after heavy rain; the riverside flood bank can be wet and slippery.

Goldthorpe Station to Bolton-upon-Dearne Station
A short, fairly direct route across recreation grounds and stream-side paths to a residential street finish. The right of way south of the Furlong Road bridge is hard to find and erosion means stepping into the (shallow) stream bed at one point.
Easy: 2km, moderate ascents.
