Alcohol and hangover food is

there – you can catch the 215, 273 and
275 from the Interchange or hop on
the train to Hope Valley, all of which
run every day of the week.
On my last visit to the Peak District,
we took the bus to Bakewell. Although
there are many other beautiful villages
on this route, we especially wanted
to head along the Monsal Trail. Once
we reached (the now closed) Hassop
Station, we stumbled across Monsal
Trail Cycle Hire. We weren’t initially
going to hire a bike, but were tempted
into it by the lovely staff – the power of
customer service! If you decide to do
this route, I recommend riding at least to
Monsal Head.
This huge bridge crosses a valley that
you can actually climb down, and in nice
weather it’s definitely worth bringing a
picnic to eat by the river.

Sheffield. You’re thinking 50p drinks if
you scout around, and £1 as a standard.
Although this makes those post-lecture
drinks less strenuous on your wallet, it
also greatly increases the chances of
getting ‘accidently’ drunk.
But do not fear! There is no better way to
ward off a hangover than a pub brekkie.
There’s loads of choice, but Varsity’s £2.40
Full English is pretty great. The standard
price for a meal in Sheffield is a fiver, but
if you hunt around for those deals, getting
a meal for half price is not outlandish.
The great thing about Sheffield is that
the local businesses are cheaper here,
making restaurant chains seem
absurdly pricy in comparison.
The hills – they can be a major
demotivator at 9am.
Keeping to this theme, Sheffield as a
whole is excellent in accommodating
student needs; it’s no exaggeration
to say that nearly every store has,
at the very minimum, a permanent
10% student discount. If you want
to update your hairdo, head down to
The Avenue hairdressers on West
Street. They have a year-round 25%
student discount, supplemented by
50% off for first-time customers –
bargain!
