00:00 We're just out here today asking people what's one of their favourite things to do in Sheffield on a weekend.
00:04 Have you got any thoughts on that at all?
00:05 Going climbing, either in the indoor centres like Depot or outside in the peaks.
00:12 Is there a favourite centre you want to go to or do you go between a couple of them?
00:16 I like Depot.
00:18 Which street's that on, I forget?
00:20 Oh yeah, I don't really know.
00:22 Down by, like kind of past Kellam but to the east.
00:29 Is it one you got into when you came to Sheffield? Is it something you picked up recently?
00:33 Yeah, I was always, kind of took the make out of my mates for being obsessed with climbing that we were in Sheffield
00:40 and then inevitably it just gets you eventually.
00:43 You can only live in Sheffield long enough before someone makes you get into climbing.
00:48 Drags you along.
00:50 Honestly, the Sheffield General Cemetery is one of the best things to do on a weekend
00:53 because no matter what there is a different event on each weekend.
00:56 It's got so much, we're doing bat walks, we're doing fungi identification tours, we do a history walk every Sunday.
01:02 So I just love getting out there and being with the dog and the landscaping team out there, just doing what we can.
01:07 Honestly, check it out on the weekend if you can.
01:09 They've done the renovations now recently as well, it's been like that for the best part of a year, it's finally back in full force.
01:14 Yeah, we had to build it by year and a bit just over lots of unexpected things that cost more money than we thought they were going to
01:22 but they're finally done, we can get the lighting in in a couple of weeks so you'll be able to walk through it at night without it being so dark.
01:28 It's just lovely to have it back open again, actually having the crypts open.
01:33 We're doing a Royal Horticultural Garden that's opening on the 12th as well, which will be really nice.
01:38 It's just such a great space in the centre of Sheffield, you get to spend some time and just chill.
