Peak District

Ello

Me and Bec are coming to the peak district tomorrow morning for the weekend. Staying in Buxton.

Anyone near here? Would like to venture out on some byways but I'm reluctant to go exploring on my own, as last time I ended up on my roof!!! :(........;)

Any interesting places to visit while we are there?

Bakewell town (YE olde bakewell pudding shop) (Market day Monday (where they sell cows & sheep))

Chatsworth House. (The farm shop is worth a visit)

The "Castle" pub for a good meal (Castleton).

To name but a few.

Have a good weekend there.

On or around Fri, 8 Sep 2006 21:50:20 +0100, "Mike" enlightened us thusly:

Just up the road from Blue John: Mam Tor and the defunct road that they've now given up on which used to run across the landslip. You can find it on the map...

certainly wouldn't do any of them lanes on me jack jones though. We went back to take a look at one in the Disco solo and I thought I was going to come unstuck but managed to pull off a 240 point turn and showed my arse all the way back to the tarmac at which point I could see why John Paul kissed the ground when he got back on it.

though it's perhaphs as well as I've got an exam Tuesday, I've just released myself from the conservatory which is about the quietest room in the house.

Loads to do and with the list you already have you can't go far wrong.

Too late now probably, but if you pop in with your maps and I can mark up loads of lanes for you. Not entirely sure which ones are still legal though...........

That got me thinking, has anyone marked up Memory Map like this and is it worth sharing it around ???

Well, ended up having an afternoon laning rather by accident..... but alsmost all the lanes round Buxton/Hartington/Ashbourne have been "maintained" - it was perfectly possible to do 30 on the majority of them :-(

I didn't do any on "steps" lanes though, as I was on my own.

Still, there's two lads converted from "It must have blue calipers and several spoilers" thinking - ans we didn't even do anything at all challenging!
