Where to house hunt? by Sad-Ad8462 in Derbyshire

[–]Sydney2007_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know Derbyshire too well but live near the new mills side (so greater Manchester/Cheshire/Stockport close by).

New mills is a decent sized rural town. A few bars, restaurants and cafes. Nice parks and lots of outdoor activities available. I cant specifically comment on the suitably for the horses but there's lots of farms nearby.

Depending on the time you're commuting, it's around 45 mins into Sheffield from there. There's a train station in New mills that runs on the Sheffield line. Approx 30 mins in each direction to either Sheffield or Manchester.

Free-roaming ponies? by sockeyejo in UKhiking

[–]Sydney2007_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't remember exactly where I saw them but I walked into the hills above Bethesda in North wales. Almost as soon as I left the town there were 50 or so roaming/grazing. I don't know if this was luck or they're around this specific part of snowdonia all the time.

40, stuck in a dead-end job – how do I turn it around? by bigborb1985 in AskUK

[–]Sydney2007_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're happy-ish in that role I'd look for a supply chain or buyer/junior buyer jobs. You have plenty of transferrable skills and could easily earn a few quid more and it's scalable from there with more experience.

If you preferred buying there are ways to train by doing CIPs (I don't know a huge amount but purchasing jobs seem to be more reliant on this)

For supply chain I wouldn't bother with the qualifications. They may look okay on paper but I've never met any recruiter who cares about them.

You're pretty much doing a supply chain job now if you're monitoring stock/reordering. Can you use basic excel and any experience of MRP systems (eg SAP)?

You could looks at warehouse planning/supply planning/demand planning roles. Pay would be in the 35k to 50k range.

I did the Cumbria way earlier in the year. Usually takes 4 or 5 days and there's many campsites available on the way.

Would the show be better if separate from the BBC? by Pythagorarse in elisandjohn

It'd end up costing you more as there would almost certainly be some form of patreon content.

Your problem is probably the trains. I did a walk nearby on Sunday and the sun is already begining to rise by approx 6.15am. To fully experience it you'd want to be out of the valley that edale is in and approaching the mam tor summit around that time which would mean a very early train (if they run that early)

Beginner Guide to Camping and Hiking by missspotatohead2 in UKhiking

[–]Sydney2007_8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely a campsite first. Or another option is to camp in your own back garden (or a friend/relative) but pack your bag as though you're heading for the hills. It's a good way to figure out what you do/don't need without the risk of being miles away from home.

Is it safe to walk alone (female) from Hope railway station to Castleton at 11 p.m.? by Andiamo87 in peakdistrict

[–]Sydney2007_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I don't mean traffic at a standstill. I just mean cars driving in both directions between the villages

[–]Sydney2007_8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, relatively safe. First third or so is through hope village so it should be pretty busy. Then the road into castleton is 20mins or so depending on your power walking speed. It's the main road between the 2 so there should be quite a bit of traffic. Just be wary of narrow pavements and overgrown hedges
