Rob J,

10/10

J B mine too, scratching the surface with those pictures and all on the move bar 3 though. Keep thinking I might post some routes but dont want too many people flooding the area. It rains all the time the people are not very friendly and its so expensive. Not to mention all the potholes.

GilesKnow it so well from mispent youth trail riding the Peak you learn all the little back linking roads. Still have my maps out and look for all the challenging back roads and the odd trail two up When Julies on the road as well she will radio in and strongly say NO when I peek at the trails

Steady hand and Julie trying out new toy, Canon G12 on auto settings first half and sport mode from Hartington. She has plenty of winter practice.
Last two trips on both bikes no photos of snow banks and drifts. Must get our act together.

Nice pics, I'm just in from a similar ride myself, some dodgy slushy bits on the road up to Whaley Bridge, but I pressed on up to Chapel and beyond, the Winnats Pass looked lovely today, but lots of traffic about.

Hot chocolate and a pasty in Castleton, had a look at the ducklings, only 2 left out of 6 according to a chap I was rattling to while I was there, he reckons Mink took the others.

Got a bit chilly coming home, and I got caught in a hailstorm in Leek!, but was nice to get out!
