G'day
I'm an idiot, I meant Northwich, not Nantwich.
.........and it's £1.40 less
Sheffield-Grindleford £4.60 Anytime Day Return
Grindleford-Northwich £10.00 GM Wayfarer (Depart Grindleford after 09:30)
Northwich-Flint £13.00 Anytime Day Return
Total £27.60
Although the OP states he is travelling after 09:30, there is a Hope Valley stopper at 09:14 from Sheffield that stops at Grindleford at the rather annoying time of 09:29.
A return from Sheffield to Hathersage (dep 09:32) is only 40p more

@ OP: Do remember that for such a plan to be valid your train must call at the split locations. Otherwise, it is certainly a feasible option (if the Ranger is valid that far, which I doubt).
Still sheep territory isn't it?

Which one, Melbourne or Lamphey?
