2018.11.15 ** Malin Bridge, Bridge (SK325893) over River Loxley on Stannington Road, cross road & follow River Rivelin (~SSW at start of trail), pass many mill sites on way to Rivelin Mill Bridge (SK289872) - return same route (or take other possibilities). Note - not all Mills passed as in one spot detour to incorrect side of the river was taken and also missed some other sites - pond / pond remnants might also be misplaced.
