A quick heads up on CliffHanger, claimed to be the 'UK's
largest outdoors-pursuits festival' which takes place in
Sheffield on 14-15 July, 2007.
Not to be confused with the terrifyingly bad Silvester Stallone
film of the same name, the festival is being held in Graves Park and
it looks like being a cracking day out.
There's far too much to list in one small news article, but
headlining events include the British Bouldering Championships
and an Alpine Beer Festival - sounds like our kind of 'alpine'
- plus a lot more besides.
Come-And-Try-It climbing walls will give novices the chance to get
a taste for rock, there's a pull-up competition too, a scuba diving
pool and some other neat touches like free cycle maintenance and a
film and lecture tent.
One idea that's going to appeal to a lot of OMers is the
opportunity to download free Peak District audio trails direct to
your MP3 player. Neat.
There's a hell of a lot more going on as well, from photo and art
exhibitions to iron smelting, yep, really, but the best way to find
out more information is via www.cliff-hanger.co.uk.
Admission for adults is a very reasonable £5
including a free programme and parking and accompanied children under
14 get in free of charge. Tickets will only be on sale at the event
so no need to pre-book, just make a note in your diary and pray for
good weather :-)
