Did a circuit of the Peak District last weekend & may be doing it again this Sunday. Round trip approximately 100 miles on mainly B roads & single lane farm roads. Surprisingly we encountered little traffic despite it being Easter weekend, just as well joe public doesn’t read maps nowadays to find the interesting roads.
At this time of the year I always try to avoid the obvious popular roads i.e. “Cat & Fiddle” “Snake” etc. Nevertheless a couple of miles of the C & T are included up to Walker Barn where we head down to Wildboarclough, across the Leek road & head for Moneyash (for breakfast) along the excellent B5055.
From there to Bakewell, Hathersage, past Ladybower, Strines, Dale Dike, Mimdhope, Langsett, Woodhead & Torside reservoirs (I like reservoirs
) & down past Glossop to the Goyt valley & eventually to Macclesfield.
It’s a very scenic route & one that I'm sure a lot of you will be familiar with, taken at a civilized (ish
) pace & anyone is welcome to join us (sofar only 2).
