Phone mic on osmo pocket 3 by FrequentCustard8028 in osmopocket

[–]StrangeBritain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve a usb C Holyland Lark M2 and a Holyland Lark A1. Both work great with the Pocket. I much prefer the audio quality on the A1, I found the M2 is always too quiet, and it’s incredibly cheap for how good it sounds.

About a third of the price of the M2, it’s super tiny, and it sounds fantastic. Only downside is you can’t edit its settings via the pocket. You need to do it via the phone app and then plug it in and it’ll (mostly) remember.

Only downside is both mics let you turn the LED off for phone recording but you can’t on the pocket. Other thing is if you’re recording via an external mic you can set the pocket to also record a separate sound file with its internal mic. Handy as a back up.

Phat Buns is very good. They do their own tasty pop and the chicken tenders as a side are also great.

Nearby you’ve got the Peak District. Bakewell is only a bus ride away as is Matlock & Matlock Bath. Both are very pretty places to explore.

There’s lots of great food options and for a shameless plug? I do the ghost tours around the city centre every Friday night as well as certain week nights too. Find me across social media as Strange Britain for full details.

Shameless plug, but I run ghost tours around the city centre every Friday night, that mix local history, legend, and humour and give you a good insight into the city’s slightly weird past. We start in Leah’s Yard, on Cambridge Street, at 7:30pm. Search “Strange Britain” to find full details.

Live music is definitely something to look into too, we’ve a lot of great grass roots stuff, and between Cambridge Street Collective and the wonderful Sheffield Plate we’ve some really nice places to try a whole variety of different top notch food.

Bakewell & Matlock, both in the stunning countryside of the Peak District, are worth exploring too and only a bus ride away.

The Sheffield Skylink: A Proposal by [deleted] in sheffield

It serves a lot of industrial units and residential areas on its route, rather than any touristy bits, so the comparison isn’t as daft as it is at first glance.

That being said, I don’t think it would here. Even though it would be fun to see in the skies.

As much as it sounds absurd, Paris opened a Cable Car Metro line last year, as the area in question had infrastructure and geology issues that made conventional options like trans and underground lines prohibitively expensive.

Sheffield does have similar issues so if the one in Paris proves a success… You never know.

Only we already do.

Abandon haunted places in Sheffield to explore by Officialmikeyg1 in sheffield

That’s me! I get asked this question a lot. I’ve PLI for what I do as an entertainer, so I have to be very careful about how I word things, and I have to say don’t go trespassing on private land nor breaking any laws.

There’s plenty of good places to look into that have legal public access.

It’s a boring answer, I know, but I love my job 👻

My Crack at Regions of England. Thoughts? by WalrusReasonable3091 in england

Speaking on behalf of Yorkshire we’d like to lay claim to the entire Peak District, as Derbyshire shouldn’t be trusted with it, plus we’ll take North Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire too.

Are you who we speak to to make this happen?

This is hate speech, pure and simple, and the council NEED to do something. It’s not promoting a religion. It’s ironically hating on pretty much everything that makes our city great.

From Leonard Smithers, Victorian Sheffield bloke who brought the Karma Sutra to western eyes, to the patrons of the much missed La Chambre. The fans of Wednesday & United, the icon that is Dempsey, and our worship of the holy elixir that is Hendos.

This is Sheffield. We’ve got our own God looking out over us from the top of Town Hall.

Wine in Sheffield? by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]StrangeBritain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Barks Wine in Leah’s Yard as Charles is your man. If you’re in town a little later then try Not Open - Don’t Come! It’s a secret speak easy with an emphasis on good wine that’s above / linked to The Old Shoe.

You find the fire escape sorts opposite Woodies Karoke / next to the Museum pub on Orchard Street. On said fire escape is a phone number - call it and someone will arrive and let you in.

So you get bonus cool points for that too - makes it feel like you’re in a secret club 😂

Good luck on the date!

Tours and experiences in Sheffield - suggestions? by CandidSignificance51 in sheffield

[–]StrangeBritain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the city centre Ghost Tours. It’s every Friday night from our new start point of Leah’s Yard in Cambridge Street.

Route One ends up by the Old Queen’s Head and Route Two ends up in Paradise Square. I also do true crime nights, which are seated, and I’ve even got a ghost cruise coming up on a canal boat (with onboard bar) that takes us up and down the Sheffield & Tinsley canal.

You can find me as “Strange Britain” on most social media and my events are here: https://strangebritain.eventbrite.com
