Does anyone have any experience of this route? It's partial open towpath, part British Waterways towpath(permit required). 6 miles of towpath with a mile or so road to reach the start of the path.
I'm considering making this a commute a few days a week but haven't been down it yet.

Any known issues?

    and here's a passage from the site:-

    18. Sheffield / Rotherham - Tinsley Canal
    Cycle along the canal towpath from Meadowhall into the centre of Rotherham (approx 2 miles), on the way you could call in at the award winning Magna Science Adventure Centre (follow the signposted link route). You can return on the same route or use the train. The Trail also runs west from Meadowhall along Five Weirs Walk into Sheffield (5 miles), this is mostly off road, with some quiet road sections that would be suitable for older children.[/url]
