Here I am Rune

Running total mileage 1867.5 miles
Having now checked out Sheffield City Centre I have to say
that I’m pleasantly surprised by the city. Whilst I have no wish to live in a
city, Sheffield is certainly one of the better cities if you need to. The
transport infrastructure is pretty good with an excellent tram system which,
for a £3.90 day ticket, allowed me to roam around the city getting on and off
the tram at will. It is quite surprising some of the hills that these trams go
up but then I suspect that all of the wheels are driven unlike a train which
would never get up these hills. There are also a lot of cycle lanes and having
visited the Forge Pond sports centre the facilities are excellent with a full
50 metre swimming pool with diving area (for those brave enough).
Heading back towards Rotherham tomorrow, again with quite an
early start, although not as early as we had coming into the city.
