→‎Around the city

Many tourists ignore Sheffield, because [[Manchester]] is so close. Many English people also forget that Sheffield exists for some reason. This is fine with Sheffielders - it means that they get to keep their home as their special secret. Sheffield has a strong character of a typical 'northern' city, and there is much to see and do following the recent renovations to the city centre. There is a small but rapidly growing Hospitalityclub community, fueled by the annual 'Bummit' hitchhiking competition organised by Sheffield University. Sheffield is 10 minutes' train ride away from the [[Peak District]] national park, with many mountains and lakes to explore.

~~== Around the city ==~~

You will be charged for using public transport, although it is sometimes possible to hop the trams. Keep a lookout on the trams - if you are very lucky, one of them may break down and as a result, you are allowed to use all local public transport for free until the problem is fixed.

~~Take care when using older maps. The city has been renovated recently and the locations of some of the main roads (such as the ring road) have changed (June 2007).~~

Take care when reading the maps on boards in the city centre. Most are not orientated with North upwards. Instead, they are orientated with the forward direction upwards, which can take some getting used to.

== Hitchhiking Out Northbound (M1 to Leeds, Edinburgh) ==

The Attercliffe Common/Broughton Lane junction is another possibility for accessing the M1, although it is unlikely to be much better than the Castlegate/Sheffield Parkway spot described above.
