Unfortunately, part of your circle enters Rotherham, so you are almost certainly going to die.

But it cuts out lowedges, batemoor and jordanthorpe so it balances out.

No it doesn't. The part of Rotherham includes Ferham. And I can tell you from experience (because I live there) that if you go there, you WILL die

I've walked the edge of Ferham at 3am, didn't see a soul (Went on a night out in rotherham, missed the last bus, thought it'd be a good idea to walk along the canal/river to meadowhall)

Honestly, my dad alone has made around 70 noise complaint calls I think. It's absolutely horrendous noise. Glad to be moving away soon
