More Darnall paths

My task of walking local rights of way continued today near Darnall. I've passed through the area of the disused airport previously but hadn't covered each path.

This walk, which was a walk as I'm still affected by plantar fasciitis, was the typical round-and-round required for completion. So 14km walked to cover quite a small area.

Highlighted paths show 2 sections (areas defined by a road or other feature) completed, yellow are impassable

The higher area, between the airport land and the golf course is well-kept and pleasant. Paths closer to the industry of Darnall are less accessible and litter strewn. Of course, there are plenty more rights of way to be walked in the east of Sheffield.
