r/sheffield

Just heard a loud bang/ boom. Did anyone hear it too and know what it was

Unfortunately we didn’t get any of your details but I am so very thankful for all of your kindness, especially to the man who calmed me down right after the crash, the other man who gave us water bottles from his car, and the lovely ladies in the shop who let me cry in their staff room and looked after me.

I am so touched by all of your kindness, I’ve lived in Sheffield for a few years now and I’ve always been amazed at how lovely you all are.

You all made one of the worst moments of my life so much more manageable and I will forever be grateful to know there are people like you in the world x

Hello everyone,

I'm a postgraduate student new to Sheffield and fortunately have access to a car. I really love the peaks and I also love driving. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right way to find some information about driving in the peaks.

Background:

My girlfriend is visiting tomorrow and I was hoping that we could drive into the peaks, park somewhere, and enjoy some fresh air and a nice view. We would also like to enjoy a short hike, but lack equipment, so wouldn't be able to go very far from the car in the interest of safety and responsibility. Are there any areas with available parking/safe locations to stop a car in the peaks accessed from Sheffield?

I understand that the roads can be precarious. Should I just trust my gut and drive with caution, or can I comfortably push the limit ? (within reason, of course. No accelerating into a bend here)

I just don't want to be a silly outsider that parks on the road and causes an accident/gets stuck in bad weather! Nor do I want to hinder the cars behind me. I am a confident driver, but also a responsible one. Conditions are looking decent during the day tomorrow, and I just thought we'd get some outside time in the peaks before the storms set in for Winter. Perhaps a sandwich to be enjoined with a view!

EDIT: Thank you all for the information, it was very helpful! I have decided to leave the visit for another day since we would only be able to arrive for the evening, and I'm not familiar enough with the area as of yet to do that. When we do visit, we'll be sure to work away through as many spots as possible. This is a beautiful area. You are all very lucky!

Theres been a helicopter, circling Heeley/ Meersbrook area for the past 20 minutes and it’s not on the flight radar app. Does anyone know what it is?

I’m a graphic design student and I’m currently investing a brief surrounding the yellow arch studios in Sheffield.

Though the studio has been a great part of Sheffield’s culture over the decades it’s been around I’ve struggled to find many personal testimony of just good times in the iconic kelham studio.

I’m hoping to find people who have maybe recorded there, practiced, been for a gig or another event and would love to share a story. I’d love to hear anything at all!

Looking for a man (or other gender) with a van for 1st or 2nd November to move a few large furnishings from our flat to our new house. Less than 15 min journey and should only need a couple of trips.

Basically wanting to see if someone will do it for less than the cost of hiring a van myself (around £70-90 for a day). Should only need them for a couple of hours.

Thanks
