I went to Matlock on the train yesterday for a football match and had a bit of time after the game so wandered down to Matlock Bath. Goodness me it was absolutely heaving, the traffic was bumper to bumper and all of the car parks were full.
With all the chip shops, amusement arcades and tat shops it was like Skegness on a bad day. Why anyone would go there on a bike at the weekend is beyond me but we're all different.
I will, however, be back in the week sometime, on the train again, as I do like that sort of place with it's associated rammel - just not when the pavements are 3 deep and walking is quicker than driving.

"Who won?" I hear you ask.
Matlock Town 0 - 4 Kettering Town.
F.A. Trophy, 3rd Qualifying Round.
 
If you're in that part of the world, would recommend the roast dinners at The Remarkable Hare just back up the road in Matlock itself. We stayed in Matlock for a long weekend earlier this year for a walking hol.
I think Matlock/ M-Bath could be a nice ride to get there and stop for a cuppa or a bag of chips.... if you can avoid the weekends in the summer and school hols...
 
It's a nice ride for me to get to Matlock plus there is a shop that does leather repairs and sews patches on.
If you don't like it don't go Simples.

Ah thanks I didn't know. She was there a long time.
