Sheffield United & Wednesday

This has been a strange day down at mill! I left the best all round B&B of the trip this morning which was Boon Hill Farm. They were really friendly and gave me a donation as well as being the cheapest. Their son is captain of Cambridge hockey team this year. Anyway I started out with the wet weather gear on again. The terrain is very hilly around Sheffield and I had a lot of trouble with the tram tracks and nearly came to grief. The road surface here is diabolical and as I descended into the city my GPS bracket snapped and it bounced down the road!! A bus and a car avoided running over it and amazingly it still worked! I arrived and left Sheffield United within 10 minutes. Sheffield Wednesday is only about 5 miles away and I was in and out of there within 10 minutes as well. The only difference between the two was that my shirt was signed by a receptionist at United and a security guy at Wednesday!
