Upcoming Weekend Away
Sheen Bunkhouse (Peak District), Friday 7th - Sunday 9th March
Booking open now
Board Games at the Pub
Still too dark for a weekday walk? We’ve got you covered! Join us for a night of dice-rolling, card shuffling and questionable rule-bending as we venture to the RUTLAND ARMS to play board games!
We have a private room above the pub and they serve good cheap food and drinks, so feel free to order food if you fancy!
Got games? Bring them!!! I have 3 games (Scrabble, Ticket to Ride, Bananagram) and the pub has a couple too, but if you have something you think the group will enjoy please bring it along! Let us know in the comments if you are bringing something.
Can’t make it? Don’t fret! We will be trying to repeat this social regularly throughout these darker months.
See you there!
Let's Get Ready to Ramble (Eyam Circular)
Bryn’s walk is easy to reach by train and will take you through moors, over hills, and into the village of Eyam.
An edgy hike
With a classic start at Fox House, Fiona has planned a 9-mile moderate walk past a bunch of edges: White, Curbar and Frogatt. Very edgy indeed!

Walking on Ice! (Ice Skating)
Host: Jacob
Date: Wednesday 13th November
Time: 19:30
Location: Ice Sheffield, 23 Coleridge Rd, Sheffield S9 5DA
As we head into the winter it’s time to ditch those walking boots for a pair of ice skates! This is a great opportunity to improve your coordination and balance while having lots of fun!
Booking on is fairly simple - we plan to do the Wednesday 13/11/2024 Simply Skate Slot at 19:40 here: https://www.sheffieldcitytrust.org/bookings/ice - please book on yourselves. Tickets are £9.95 (I will ring later this week to confirm if this includes skate hire but I assume it would). The slot is for 1 hour and 20 minutes. These don't look like they fill up often so if you are uncertain about attending you will probably still be able to book on the day or just turn up. Please wear warm clothing, ice rinks tend to be cold!
The site is outside the city centre in the direction of Meadowhall but there is free on-site parking. Alternatively you can get the yellow tram or 207 bus. There are food/drink facilities on site.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Edging our way to the pub
Ready for a walk around Derwent Edge with our experienced leader Alex. The route is not entirely clear yet, but we will end up at the pub!
Stoney GrindleFrogyam
Hop on the train to Grindleford for this 10-mile walk led by Jono. With some decent ascents, this is bound to be a good walk!
