Details: BEHOLD YE RAMBLERS - a new play by Neil Gore

From the voices of ramblers and campaigners to the songs and poetry inspired by past and current struggles, “Behold Ye Ramblers” is a new play about The Clarion newspaper and the organisations formed by its readership, including the famous rambling club, The Sheffield Clarion Ramblers. Along with the Clarion Cyclists, these early Edwardian pioneers promoted healthy outdoor pursuits, organising expeditions across open moors and mountains whilst campaigning for the right to roam, bringing them into conflict with landowners’ hunting and shooting activities and laws that prioritised private property over the wellbeing of others.

A few S40WG members have booked tickets for Thursday evening

Tickets £12 or £10 concession

Come and explore the underground tunnels that carry the rivers beneath the city of Sheffield. The Megatron is a Victorian engineered drainage system that was built in the mid 1800s and boosts an impressive network of cathedral like brick archways.

Cost £20
Don’t forget your Wellies

The Sheaf and Porter Rivers Trust invites you to explore the hidden rivers of downtown Sheffield in the company of experienced guides and learn from trust members about the history, biodiversity and future of these mysterious and sometimes unintentionally beautiful places.

Tours will last approximately one hour. All tours will start at Triple Point Brewery on Shoreham St Subject to conditions and water depth on the day tours will aim to go as far as the so-called Megatron culvert section.
Participants should bring wellington boots or waders and waterproofs if raining. You may wish to bring a walking pole or stick to help with balance. The culverts are not usually cold so don’t over-dress. Safety helmets and cap-lamps will be provided.
Tours may be called off in the event of high water conditions or forecast of heavy rain. We will endeavour to give advice on this as early as we can be certain but inevitably weather can change dramatically overnight and the Sheaf and Porter are ‘flashy’.

This tour has been organised by Alex for S40WG members. 15 places available.
These tours usually sell out fast when on sale to the public so book early to avoid disappointment
Meet at Triple Point Brewery 178 Shoreham Street, Sheffield, S1 4SQ for the 6pm tour

If the tour is cancelled due to high river water and we have paid, the rivers trust will offer an alternative date/time for our group

Drinks at the Triple Point Brewery after the tour.

Details: Hi Folks,

We are holding a meeting on Monday 28th October, 7pm, to get all the path wardens together, meeting at The Florentine, Tapton Park Rd, Sheffield S10 3FG (big free car park). We are meeting in one of their meeting rooms (ask at the bar for Jeremy, or the Ramblers meeting).

The meeting is to do two things - divide up the paths between the various volunteers, and to run through how to report problems.

If you can't make the meeting, but still want to help the project, please let me know (email: jez@jez.cc), and also approximately where you live, so we can allocate you some paths to check.

Essentially to report a problem you just need to email to me the details, exact location and a photo, but to make that process easier (for me and you), I have created a web utility, that you can access via the web browser on your phone.

This utility can be used to directly email in a report, or you can just use it to get the exact grid reference, then make a note, take a photo, and email them all to me later.

It would be good if you could try it out in advance, to see if it works, but if you have problems with it, we can run through it at the meeting.

The link to the web utility is https://www.jez.cc/path

When you first use the utility, it will ask for permission to access your location, and to take photos. It may need reloading after giving it permission - if it doesn't work, just try it again.

The utility shows you a form, with the location at the top (including how accurately it has found the position), and the following to fill in:
- Dropdown of categories
- Box to type a note into
- Button to take a photo
- Name and email fields (these are remembered the first time you enter them)
- Submit button

When you submit a report it will shrink down the photo (to save you on data charges) and then email you and me the report.

I am hoping that it will work out at about 15 miles per person - two mornings or afternoons a year.

We are only going to cover paths in Sheffield. If you go to http://www.rowmaps.com/showmap.php?place=Sheffield&map=BingOS&lat=53.3825&lon=1.46852&lonew=W it will show you all the paths in the area. You can click on a path to see if it is in Sheffield or elsewhere.

Any queries, please email me at jez@jez.cc

Thanks,
Jez

Details: We are organising a Ceilidh - traditionally it is a gathering or social event, and it didn't necessarily involve any dancing. These days a Ceilidh is a sociable way to bring people together involving Scottish music and dance, with a caller shouting out the steps to the lively dance.

Location: Crookes social club, Mulehouse Road, S10 1TD in the large room.

There is plenty of space to dance) from 8.00 pm with a buffet. If you have any dietary requirements please state what type i.e. Vegetarian, wheat intolerant, etc. when booking.

Members and Friends £10.00 (all welcome the more the merrier)
Walk leaders £5.00 (you must have led a walk in the last 12 months to qualify)

[Our walk leaders do a fantastic job of organising wonderful and varied walks, so as a thank you we are subsidising this event, to make it cheaper for walk leaders.]

Music from ‘Pigs Ears’ and Mike Tissington is the caller. Mike brings his own speakers and amp and is completely self-contained, so you don’t have to provide anything for him, other than lots of willing and fun-loving dancers! He’s a great chap and gets everyone involved in the dancing in a fun, informal way.

You also don’t have to have any previous dancing experience and the emphasis is most definitely on having a laugh rather than getting it right. Mike will walk you through all the dances before the music is let loose on you, so rest assured, you won’t be expected to know what you’re doing as Mike manages a crowd in a light-hearted manner.

To book your place, please email the group on sheffield40swg@gmail.com. Then do a bank transfer of your money to the Account: 20198167, Sort Code: 60-83-01, reference: Ceilidh

Details: This is back for another year, with 13 pubs taking part, providing a great choice of beers, ciders, foods, atmosphere and music, all linked by a special free bus service running from Dronfield station in three continuous loops (running from midday to 9.00pm) hop on and off at whichever pub you want to visit next and new this year there will also be festival buses from Halfway Park & Ride site where the 120 bus and Blue route tram terminate

3 Valleys sees a whole raft of pubs, clubs and breweries putting on small beer festivals on the same day and fund a free bus service linking all the venues with Dronfield rail station. Entry to all the venues is also free of charge so it is a great value day out featuring beer, cider, food, live music and scenery.

New venues confirmed for this year include Fuggle Bunny Brewhouse and the Butchers Arms at Marsh Lane with returning favourites including the Miners Arms at Hundall, Hyde Park Inn at Hill Top, the Jolly Farmer and Miners Arms in Dronfield Woodhouse whilst in Dronfield itself the Dronfield Arms, Green Dragon, Manor House Hotel, Blue Stoops and Pioneer Club are all back again for 2018. It is expected there will be a few more venues still to be announced.

One cluster of venues that have proved very busy in the last few years are those on Dronfield High Street – Blue Stoops, Manor House and Green Dragon – all offering outside bars, music and street food stalls – so new this year will be a road closure to make it easier and safer to walk between these venues and provide more space to eat and drink outside! As a result the festival buses will serve these venues using the stop in the Civic Centre.

Details: We are going to the Bradwell Pantomime!

"A Norwegian story"

Once upon a time there were three Billy Goats Gruff; Little Billy Goat, Middle Sized Billy Goat and Great Big Billy Goat, who lived in a field in a green valley. They loved to eat sweet grass, but sadly their field was now brown and barren because they were greedy goats and they’d eaten every last blade of grass. But they were still hungry. In the distance they could see a field that was full of lush sweet scrummy grass, but alas there was only one way to get to it - over a rickety bridge over a stream. But under the bridge lived a terrifically terrifying terrible troll called Trevor - he was always hungry too. And there was nothing he liked better than to eat a nice juicy Billy Goat. (Includes a surprise celebrity!)

Time: Leaving Sheffield around 9am

Details: *** See full details on Walks Page ***
A sociable walk to the end of Spurn point & back, along track, sand dunes and beach. The road has been washed away in one point and surfaces can be bumpy. There will not be many migrating birds in August but lots to see with views up the estuary and out to the North Sea. Lots of shipping to watch. The shipping lane is very close to the end of the point which means the big container ships come close in. The only place where the RNLI has a full time paid life boat pilot. Also the coast guard station is at the end of the point. If we are lucky we will see seals.

Kilnsea Car Park is in a pleasant location, therefore, it would be good to spend some casual social time there at the end of the walk before going to the Crown & Anchor. Bring camping chairs & sun tan lotion.

See the associated walk for more details and how to sign up and to arrange car sharing etc.

Details: The Sierra Nevada is Spain's largest national park; at its centre is Mulhacen, the highest mountain in mainland Spain. There are great opportunities for walking and mountaineering - from short strolls through terraced valleys to multi-day treks traversing much of the 3000m peaks. The area has interesting wildlife, archaeology and architecture having been influenced by Berbers from North Africa for hundreds of years.

The talk will touch on all of these whilst describing some of Mike and Jane's walking and mountaineering adventures. Mike and Jane run Mountain House Holidays, Peak Navigation Courses and Sierra Nevada Guides. The talk wil be held at Rutland Arms Pub (Upstairs), 86 Brown Street, SHEFFIELD S1 2BS. Admission Free of Charge, please text 0779 5203867 to confirm attendance and avoid disappointment. (30 seats only)
