Signing workday and ride

There will be a workday to put up a few destination patches on the Monsal Trail (Route 680), followed by a ride to Buxton, and then Harpur Hill to see the development of the final Parks Inn spur section of the Staker Hill multi-user path (work in progress - completion expected Jan 2018). 

Meet 10:00 Monday 27 November 2017 at Coombs Road viaduct, Bakewell (the start (or finish!) of the trail). We will sign from there up the Monsal Trail to the Wyedale car park and, if time allows, in Buxton (but not Harpur Hill yet) before returning either by the Monsal Trail or by the High Peak Trail. 

Bring sandwiches although, if it's cold, we could consider stopping at the Buxton Morrison's. 

NB They say that Buxton has its own microclimate! The forecast for Matlock is no rain at all throughout the day, although humidity is always over 80%, but for Buxton rain is predicted the whole day! Temperatures 6-7 C with a significant westerly wind.
