For some time, the charity Peak Cycle Links has had planning
permission to build a path near Ladmanlow, Buxton. This will eventually become
a vital link in the White Peak Loop, as it will form a small but important part
of the route from Buxton to the High Peak Trail at Hurdlow. The actual path in
question was once a tramway running parallel to Grin Low Road, on its northern
side, from the entrance to the Grin Low Country Park car park and caravan site,
and the junction of Grin Low Rd with Leek Rd (opposite the path leading to the
Health and Safety labs). The planning permission is due to expire on 14
February 2014, unless work commences on or before that date. The work required at
this location consists of taking down a 4-metre section of dry stone wall and
cutting down a number of trees and saplings. The
County Ranger Service will undertake the tree work and will supervise all
demolition but are looking for volunteers to assist with taking down the
wall. It is proposed that this be undertaken on Wednesday 12 February,
starting at 10:00. Please spread the word and turn out if you can, even if only
for a few hours. Thank you.
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.
