After the other three left us between Carsington Water and Bradbourne, Ruth & Paul whiled away the time until pub opening. Paul, by fixing a puncture and Ruth, by going back to find the gloves that Paul had dropped. So in the end we were not too early for our pub lunch at the Bluebell, Tissington. We were sorry to hear that the Tissington Trail North going up to Biggin was so snow bound - we had blithely told the rest of the team that the trail was clear, having ridden up from Thorpe to Tissington that morning. Anyway, a good time was had by all and we look forward to doing it again. However, our fitness classes - bootcamp and pilates (not both together) have re-started after the Easter break, effectively ruling out Tuesdays and Wednesdays for us in future. Other days are ok and we are always willing to go out on our own and do any bits if the signs are posted to us.
The blog of the Sustrans Volunteer Rangers in the White Peak. Our area contains traffic-free cycling and walking trails, including the High Peak Trail, the Tissington Trail, the Manifold Track and the Monsal Trail, as well as various on-road cycle routes belonging to the National Cycle Network, in particular Ashbourne to Etwall. We ride these routes regularly, notifying Peak Park or Derbyshire and Staffordshire county councils of any problems. We also sign the trails which are parts of the NCN.
Thanks, Paul and Ruth. It was an amusing experience, slithering through the snow! And I saw a stoat with some small creature in its mouth on the TT, so it was worth it just for that! We don't have to meet on Wednesdays - I'll send out an email asking folk for their best days. We'll stick to this Wed, but it can be changed in the future. It's looking like the Monsal Trail this week (NCR680).
