Cycling has seen a huge upturn. Why not try one of our recommended routes?
elcome to the November edition of Sixer. It’s not quite Christmas (yet) but we’re already feeling naughty and nice here in north Sheffield. Naughty in that we’ve been looking at supermarket wines in preparation for the festive season ahead. Our wine expert, Jamie Green, has discovered some outstanding yet affordable wines and we’re sharing them with you. To balance things out, we also take a look at the upturn in cycling. We talk to the experts to find out why it has proved so popular over the last few months and have some local rides for you to try, which is nice. There’s also the ususal mix of fashion, beauty, home and garden and motoring as well as the start of our Christmas Gift Guide. See you next month for a special festive issue.

Carracks Carracks Wallpaper & Paint in Crookes is a family business that truly has stood the test of time. The business has been on the same spot since Ben and Joan Carrack started it in 1947. Current owner Simon Bradbury worked with John for 15 years and bought the business four years ago. Simon has a wealth of knowledge in the industry, supplying trade and the general public, and continues to give the same good, old-fashioned friendly service and wide range of paints and wallpapers.

SHEFFIELD CATHEDRAL IS GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS WITH A NUMBER OF FREE EVENTS. heffield Cathedral is a massive draw for those living in and visiting Sheffield; It has been a place of worship for almost 1,000 years and 250,000 people regularly pass through its doors each year. Sadly, due to the current pandemic, these numbers have been greatly reduced but there are plenty of reasons to still visit the ancient Church of St Peter and St Paul; whether you pop in for prayer and contemplation, enjoy a coffee and a slice of cake or browse the gift shop, the Cathedral is very much open for business. It has recently signed up to the 'We're Good to Go' scheme, which is organised by Visit Britain and is the Covid-19 industry standard, providing a 'ring of confidence' for destinations as well as reassurance to local residents and visitors that clear processes are in place to maintain safety and compliance.

Autumn is events season at Sheffield Cathedral and following the recent Leaves of the Trees exhibition – one of many free events they are hosting in the run-up to Christmas – comes The Foundry, 23 October - 21 November. This exhibition, which has been curated by sculptor Peter Walker, celebrates the historical industry and social aspects of Sheffield's steel heritage presented through contemporary artworks. Digital technology, art and sculpture (in steel, naturally) will all feature, including a Pathé newsreel, and can be viewed during the Cathedral's opening hours. "The part the steel industry played in pulling the city together, not least during difficult times, is something worth honouring and we wanted to be able to do that," said Sheffield Cathedral's development manager, Ben Rossi. Luxmuralis Artistic Collaboration will be returning to Sheffield Cathedral with another spectacular light show. 'In the Beginning', which runs from 1-6 December, 5.30-8.30pm, will see the exterior of the building transformed

Also starting on 1 December, is a Christmas Tree Festival, which will see up to 30 Christmas trees, beautifully decorated by local charities, schools and businesses, placed around the Cathedral.You will be able to vote for your favourite tree and help to support local good causes. "We want to help bring joy into people's lives. If successful, we would like to make it an annual event. Please join with us and finish the year with the joy and hope of Christmas," concluded Ben.

For all eternity MAKE IT FOREVER THIS CHRISTMAS WITH AN ETERNITY RING FROM PA JEWELLERY. LET THEM GUIDE YOU THROUGH THEIR RANGE. ternity rings are given to celebrate a variety of occasions; wedding anniversaries, birth of a child or a ‘special’ birthday. At the end of a challenging year, they also make a meaningful Christmas gift. An eternity ring is a band of gems, usually diamonds, that is often worn alongside your engagement and wedding rings. The sentiment is important, renewing the expression of love that has already been made and reinforcing the eternal nature of that love.
E
A complete band of gems makes the perfect sign of love, reflecting the ancient belief in the circle as a symbol of eternity. Eternity rings themselves have been known since at least the 18th century, when they would often feature paste (glass) stones or a mixture of different gems. In the early decades of the 20th century diamonds were becoming more available and consequently more commonly used. Synthetic spinel was also a popular choice, making use of the latest advances in the synthesis of gemstones to provide a more affordable option that imitated the appearance of diamond.
In the 1960s DeBeers began to promote the idea of a diamond eternity ring. The original slogan for this campaign was “She married you for richer or poorer. Let her know how it’s going”. This, and subsequent campaigns with similarly light-hearted slogans, ensured the giving of an eternity ring soon became a tradition almost as universal as engagement and wedding rings. While eternity rings were traditionally a full band of gems it is now more common for a half-set band to be chosen. The principal reason for this is that it is a more practical style for regular wear since it is plain around the lower half of the band, making the ring easier to adjust in size and more comfortable to wear. The wide range of settings and styles available now also encourages great variation in what is chosen as an eternity ring. For many people, it is important to find a design that complements their existing engagement and wedding rings, as the eternity ring is traditionally worn alongside them on the same finger. Diamond-set bands traditionally regarded as eternity rings are increasingly popular as wedding rings too. An eternity ring is still often added later, perhaps duplicating the wedding ring to form a complete set on the finger, or
worn separately on the right hand, allowing for an expanded choice of style and size. Whatever the occasion, an eternity ring is a beautiful way to reaffirm your love and our experienced team of jewellers and gemmologists can guide you through the process and the range of options available.

BITS & PIECES
Mission accomplished Local hero Emily Weldon recently raised over £600 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) as part of their Mission 5000 campaign. The occupational therapist completed 113 miles through walking and running in the Sheffield countryside and a week hiking in the Lake District. Mission 5000 requires participants to collectively cover 5,000 miles, one mile for each person currently living with motor neurone disease (MND) in the UK. “I set myself the challenge of running and walking as many miles as I could over five weeks,” said Emily. “MND is a cruel, terminal illness with no cure. The neurons in the body die, resulting in the inability to walk, move, talk, swallow and breathe. Most people die within two years of diagnosis. “I decided to fundraise for the South Yorkshire branch of the MNDA as my boyfriend sadly lost his mum to this disease 19 years ago. Ever since he has volunteered with the branch and they are all dedicated to supporting people living with this disease in South Yorkshire. “I’m thrilled that the total amount raised has reached over £600 which will make a huge difference, I’m so grateful for everyone’s support and generosity. I’ve never done anything like this before, I have never had the stamina for long distance running and walking, so I’m really pleased with what I have achieved.”

New rules Like chasing a hockey puck, it’s time for a catch up with the Bradfield Brewery Sheffield Steeldogs... Ice hockey teams are still in limbo at the moment and team behind the Steeldogs are trying to make sense of the rules that will be put in place for the return of the much-loved sport. They are eager to get back on the ice and hope all you hockey fans out there are eager too! While we are waiting for the puck to be dropped. Here’s a few things we can think about. • How can we as fans of ice hockey be of help? • Who are the new faces in the team? • After overloading their long chilli hot dog, who will be the first fan to spill the tomato sauce down their new hockey shirt once fans are allowed back in? But in all seriousness, buying raffle tickets online and purchases made on the Steeldogs’ website is a great way of showing your support and helping ice hockey in the area stay alive during these worrying times. For both those who are new to the game or already ice hockey fans, here is a bit of an insight to the rules and layouts that you might or might not already be aware of. If you’ve been getting yourself in a flap, the image (above) explains some of the referee’s signals. As ice hockey is struggling to get started this year, we have been working hard in the background. As everyone might be aware other national and international sports are streaming. Steeldogs may have the possibility to do the same, so stay tuned for more information. Fans will be informed via social media platforms - Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram.

But can you guess where exactly he was when he took this photograph? To find out see next month’s Sixer or follow @SlatersAerials on Twitter – the answer will be revealed at the end of each month. Last month Simon was at the rear of the Nag’s Head in Bradfield. Where do you think he is this month?

A great time to get on your bike LOCKDOWN SAW A SURGE IN CYCLISTS HITTING THE ROADS AND TRAILS. RICHARD ABBEY LOOKS AT THE GROWING ATTRACTION AND HAS SOME RIDES TO GET YOU STARTED.
hen lockdown started, daily exercise was limited to one hour a day, which for most of us, generally consisted of a short walk with those within our household close to home. As these restrictions eased from the middle of May, with an unlimited amount of exercise allowed, walks got longer and we ventured much further afield, perhaps discovering routes that we had not come across before. Cyclists had a bit more leeway and, after being limited to short, solo rides to begin with, could meet up with fellow riders for much longer excursions. It

almost felt like being ‘back to normal’. It is believed that cycling levels increased by up to 300 per cent during the lockdown period with a predicted 1.3 million people buying bikes. The government were quick to jump on board with a £2billion package announced to create ‘a new era for walking and cycling’. Pop-up bike lanes with protected space for cycling, wider pavements, safer junctions, and cycle and bus-only corridors were created in towns and cities throughout the country supported by the existing Cycle to Work scheme
and new £50 cycle repair vouchers. Has there been a better time to get on a bike? Simon Geller, who is a keen cyclist and runs the sheffieldcycleroutes.org.uk blog, goes some way to explaining why cycling has proved so popular. “Conditions were ideal for cycling in early lockdown,” he said. “Boris had made it clear that cycling was OK for your one hour’s exercise, traffic was practically non-existent and the weather was perfect. Plus, we are so lucky in Sheffield to have the Peak District on our doorstep.

“Boris had made it clear that cycling was OK, traffic was practically nonexistent and the weather was perfect. Plus, we are so lucky to have the Peak District on our doorstep.”
“I saw a family of four merrily cycling up Ecclesall Road South - before lockdown that might have been a family of three by the time they’d reached the other end!” Cycling has not only been convenient over the last few months but it has enormous health benefits too, as Simon says: “Cycling really ticks the boxes in terms of many of the issues that concern us today – road congestion and parking, air quality and pollution, and health issues such as obesity and heart disease, it has even been shown to improve mental health. “It also improves social cohesion If you see someone you know when you’re out cycling, whether they’re walking or cycling, you just stop for a chat - try doing that in a car! A cycle-friendly city is a liveable city.” It’s a sentiment echoed by cyclist and mobile bike mechanic Barry Parker, who owns Sheffield Bike Repairs. “Cycling is a great way of getting fit and losing weight,” he said. “It has great cardio abilities and can be enjoyed with hardly any money spent. It’s very social with mountain bike and road clubs all over the UK for all abilities and great for commuting to work at a low cost. It’s also good for mental health.” While regular riders have been taking advantage of the quieter roads, for novices it can be hard to know where to start. What kind of bike do you need? Where should you be riding? They’re all valid questions perhaps best left to those in the know, whether that’s someone you already know or one of the many cycling shops in the city. “It really depends on a lot of factors how old are you, what sort of cycling do you want to do, and so on. There’s a bike for every type of journey as well as some that will go pretty much anywhere,” Simon says to those who are thinking about getting a bike. “For city cycling I’d recommend a hybrid with an upright riding position so you can keep a good eye on what’s going on around you. A low-gear option will get you around in Sheffield but if you find the hills too daunting you should consider an electric bike - for advice see www.sheffieldcycleroutes.org/ebikes/ “For long-distance trips you can’t beat
the classic tourer, whereas if you want to burn around the Peak District a road bike will suit you - don’t take them on trails though, there’s a clue in the name. and that’s what mountain bikes are for.” You’ll have to think beyond the bike too, with safety and security accessories required too. “Some safety accessories are a good idea - bright clothing, lights, and you should consider wearing a helmet, although you don’t have to and they don’t make you invulnerable. Plus a good lock - spend at least ten per cent of the value of the bike.You can get third party insurance by joining one of the cycling organisations like Cycling UK.” Barry Parker’s business saw a big upturn during the lockdown period, with many people looking for help with new bikes are maintenance for ones that had probably been sat in the garage for months on end. “There was a big uptake in cycling due to gyms and swimming baths being closed and the government saying avoid public transport,” he said. “Since Covid restrictions hit the UK my business went up about 60 per cent and I had a big volume of new customers. The bikes were mainly ones that had been bought online as bike shops had completely sold out of low to mid-level bikes so bought from online retailers and gave them to me in boxes to build.” The good thing about cycling is that it is very easy to take up - get a bike and you’re good to go, but there is one thing to bear in mind, particularly if you’re commuting or riding on the roads for the first time. As Barry explains: “Read the cycle part of the Highway Code so you know the law and where you stand.” That’s sage advice for motorists too. If you’re thinking about hitting the roads - or the trails - over the page are a few rides in and around Sheffield to get you started. www.rmcmedia.co.uk 59

A popular meet-up point is the Sheffield University Concourse. If you meet there, take Glossop Road, then as below. 3. Left to Clarkehouse Road, right on Endcliffe Vale Road, left to Fulwood Road. Another popular meet-up spot is the Ranmoor Inn. Take Ranmoor Road, which is one-way, takes you up right to Snaithing Lane, right on to Carsick Hill Road, then right on to Carsick View Road. Take a left on to Tom Lane, right at Hillcote Close, and watch for the fooptpath link up to Hallam Primary. Turn right to follow the link up to Redmires Road. 4. For the shorter version turn left at Blackbrook Road (by the bus stop) right on Lodge Moor Road, right at Brownhill Lane, then left at Roper Hill (bit of a climb). For the long version (healthy option) continue to Soughey Lane, left on to Brown Hills Lane, the right on Roper Hill. 5. Follow through to Ringinglow, then left and first right at Houndkirk before following Sheephill Road on to Hathersage Road (busy junction and road – take care).

Follow the bridleway for Abbey Lane, cross this busy road, continue to Whirlowdale Road, cross again, up to Dobcroft Road. 6.

RIDE RIDE3: 3: Glider Distance: 20 miles (32.2km) Time: 3 hours (approx.) http://www.sheffieldcycleroutes.org/up-in-my-glider/ 1. You can get to Hathersage on the Hope Valley Railway or by following NCN6 from Sheffield and dropping down to the village from Burbage (three opportunities to turn left). At the time of writing this route is particularly attractive because key sections of the roads are closed to motor traffic. Note that SatNavs will divert you onto different routes. 2. Take the road out of Hathersage towards Grindleford and turn right. A steady climb follows until you reach the gliding club which has a viewing area. 3. Start the downhill and then turn right to Great Hucklow (pub) and follow through to Windmill. Crossing the main road, follow Washhouse Bottom to the Anchor, a somewhat marooned nautical establishment in the middle of the White Peak. 4. Drop down to Tideswell which has shops, pubs and cafes and watch for the left turn onto The Lodge which cuts the corner and takes you into Litton. 5. Follow through and down to the A623 (Cressbook Dale is on your left). Take a left and turn right with great care shortly afterwards. This takes you up Silly Dale – it is silly, the rock outcrops are pathetic – so turn right at the Skeleton Barn and right again onto the road through Foolow and Eyam (pub, cafes, shop). 6. Keep left for New Road which is closed to motor traffic and drop down to the outskirts of Grindleford. Take a left on the B6001 and by turning left at Sir William Hill, staying on the B6001 you will return to Hathersage. However, this section of road is very unpleasant so if you are heading for Sheffield, go straight on for the B6521. An off-road route between Grindleford and Hathersage is badly needed – although the National Trust have opened some routes in the Longshaw Estate, this is not one of them.
RIDE4: 4: Lady Canning’s RIDE
Plantation Head out of Sheffield on Ringinglow Road and you’ll arrive at Lady Canning’s on the edge of Houndkirk Moor. A crowdfunding initiative saw the creation of two mountain bike trails – Blue Steel and Cooking on Gas. The aim with Lady Cannings is to offer fun trails for children, beginners and intermediate riders to enjoy and improve their skills before building up to the more technical trails in the Peak District. Blue Steel is 1.4km in length and is packed full of fun but there are no jumps or features that will put off the novice, with the trail twisting and turning through berms and rollers from top to bottom. The surface is generally smooth. Cooking on Gas is slightly longer at 1.6km and incorporates less in the way of features and is more of a flow trail with loads of opportunity to pump for speed over rollers and out of the massive berms. There’s nothing that a beginner can’t handle.

WINE
Crowdpleasers SUPERMARKET WINES: DISCOVERING OUTSTANDING YET AFFORDABLE WINE. BY JAMIE GREEN. inding affordable and delicious wine that is accessible can be a genuine struggle. Thankfully, not only do we have a growing amount of independent wine merchants, supermarkets have really stepped up their game in recent years. In all major supermarkets, you will now find their ‘selections’ where each supermarket has recruited wine experts to find, select and buy top quality wines to improve their offerings. These supermarket shelves are loaded from top to bottom with many different wines, from many different countries. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz are just the tip of the iceberg. Plus, we also have the lesser known grape varieties that are even more daunting, as well as our old safe favourite brands that it is difficult to venture away from. All of this makes choosing a new or different wine a challenge. So how do you pick a wine that you, and others, are going to like? Finding the flavours and characteristics in wine you like and do not like is key to developing your knowledge. In this column we will keep it basic, highlighting key flavours and characteristics for you to pick up on when trying them for yourself. We will begin with two crowd-pleasing wines and move from there.
F
*** Both wines are easy to drink, but neither are ‘light and fruity’ like many wines that flood the UK market. Neither do they have any divisive characteristics; Imagine an oaked chardonnay full of butter and cream, or a Cabernet Sauvignon with high tannins (the dry pucker-power found in red wines). Both are incredibly crowd-pleasing wines with great balance. Perfect to satisfy even the pickiest wine lover. 66 www.rmcmedia.co.uk
Rocca Murer Sainsburys Pinot Grigio. Italy, 2019, £7
Kooliburra Aldi Grenache, Australia, 2019, £6.99
Pinot Grigio, much like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, has widespread negative stigma surrounding it. This is because the world has been flooded with cheap and sub-par examples of these wines to meet demand and it has been challenging for these wines to get back into people’s good graces. This particular Pinot Grigio stands out for its sophistication and balance. The wine has fruity notes of peach and apple, backed with punchy notes of citrus and pear. Despite all this, the wine is dry and has crisp acidity, which completely balance the wine. Often wines with fruit characteristics are mistaken to be sweet when they are in fact bone-dry.
Aldi’s reputation for offering good quality wines has skyrocketed over the last few years. Their prices are reasonable and you can always find a quality wine for a good price here. I find Aldi to be a great supermarket for the novice; display labels have descriptions of the wine to give you a good idea of what you are buying. This wine is bursting with ripe red fruit flavours. However, this wine is not sweet, light and breezy. This Grenache is smooth, medium-bodied, but packs a punch with 14.5% ABV.
