Reminder: there will be two signing mornings on successive Wednesdays, 3 and 10 April 2013. The weather next Wed is due to be sunny and dry, with temperatures up to an amazing 6 or 7 deg C!
We meet at 10:00 on 3 April on the High Peak Trail (NCR54) at
the bottom of the Hopton Incline. Route 54A leaves at this point, mostly on
roads, to Hopton, Carsington Water, Bradbourne and Tissington, where it joins
the Tissington Trail (NCR68). Depending on how many of us there will be, we could complete the renumbering from 54A to 547 of that whole stretch in one morning or, failing that, the following Wednesday. When this renumbering is finished, I suggest that we replace the 54s by 548s on the stretch from Minninglow to Biggin and Hartington, and that will be another substantial bit finished. The present signage is aluminium plates screwed to wooden posts, I presume put up by DCC. The red self-adhesive 547 number patches that have been supplied by Sustrans will cover the original numbers.
Parking for those coming by car is possible in Hopton or Carsington villages or Middleton Top.

We're currently enjoying (?) our fourth day of being snowed in here on Ilam Moor. The lane is 3 to 5 feet deep in snow and not even walkable - let alone cycleable. But let's hope that by next week the roads and trails are clear. Then, if it's a nice day, we can cycle over to meet you, come back along the signing route, have lunch at the Bluebell at Tissington and away home.
ReplyDeleteWhat time are you proposing to meet?
Blimey, and I thought it was bad enough here in Matlock! Whoops - I forgot to put the time for meeting, though I think I may have put it in previous emails. I've amended that now. Your itinerary sounds great - let's hope the weather is reasonable next week!
