HeHasRisen   3,392 #16 Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Just now, LovePotion said: I would never refer to someone as a "cripple". I think it's disrespectful, you may be comfortable using language like that but most people don't use that terminology any more. Oh dear, a good try though.  For a parody account I think you are starting to lose your edge now though, maybe try something else.

HeHasRisen   3,392 #17 Posted May 27, 2022 I think you need to go and educate yourself on what the "crips" are. But I suspect you know this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
HeHasRisen   3,392 #18 Posted May 27, 2022 Just shove it into Google for crying out loud 🤣  Personally I would be more worried about the Yazuka members who live down Wyming Brook, but thats just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Map of the area from "lets go peak district"  Wyming Brook has no pavement or cows and only rare waterworks traffic- one route is trickier as follows the stream and waterfalls to the bottom, the others are 5m wide tracks.  "Butterfly Walk" A short walk from the top of Wyming Brook up Soughley Lane accesses the former leat on the left that took water from Rivelin to the reservoirs in Crookes. This level path gets to to the Sportsman or 51 terminus or Spider Park(playground) and Crimicar Lane for Shiny Sheff or 120 terminus. Any age. In the woods (muddy in places and unmarked paths) is the place were the last Nazi leader was once imprisoned after the Great War.*  "Cliff Walk" Also from the top of Wyming Brook is the cliff walk that runs along the Fox Hagg edge all the way down to Crosspool, but can be short for the Three Merry Lads or Sportsman or 51 terminus or several 51 bus stops. Ours went on short sections from age 5 upwards with very close adult supervision.  *The Wikipedia article about Lodge Moor Camp is here, the bibliography contains lots of interesting links to the hospital, smallpox, trenches, murder etc. Edited May 29, 2022 by Annie Bynnol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Annie Bynnol   612 #21 Posted May 30, 2022 15 hours ago, LovePotion said: It is a bank parted by a kurb that is used as a pavement and there is plenty of traffic running through Wyming Brook main road.  We must be talking about two different things.  The walks: There are two ways down to Rivelin that follow the Wyming Brook. One is a footpath and the other is a track(Wyming Brook Drive) with no tarmac, no kerb and has locked gates/blocks at all three access points. The only traffic permitted are people, bicycles and horses. There are small car park off Redmires Road and at Rivelin Reservoir. A few spaces at the bus stop(hourly service) on the A57.  The place: Decades ago a rare 51 bus terminated at 'Wyming Brook' at Redmires Road/Soughley Lane, from there people used to walk across the road to a footpath, then down to a maintained picnicking area/stepping stones below where Redmires Road crosses Wyming Brook. The stepping stones are still there but the picnic area has mainly returned to the wild. The car park is beyond the bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Dozer   13 #23 Posted April 3 Sorry to have gone quiet - shortly after posting this I had a prolonged period of being unwell.  Now feeling a bit better, we did our first postcode walk last week - S36 Penistone. Somehow in about 30 years we had never been there. We walked from Scout Dyke to the village, at a cafe, saw the viaduct and the churchyard, and then had a great walk back and around the reservoir. Got a call from family and found out a beloved family member is expecting, whilst we were sitting on a very wet log!  Anyway, we thought we would go from a beautiful rural area to more urban, S9 and Tinsley. Thinking about a nice walk around Tinsley Park Woods, seeing the statue called The Observer. Any thoughts about a decent place for some grub? Any other recommendations? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
