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.

Parks Inn link to Staker Hill MUP
Another link in the White Peak Loop is complete! When DCC built the multi-user path across Staker Hill, over two years ago, the link from it to Route 68 coming from Buxton was not finalized due to planning problems. Now a last stretch of path has been constructed at Harpur Hill, next to the Parks Inn pub. Up until now the only way of accessing the Staker Hill route was via Fiddle St which some of our rangers will remember we were not allowed to sign, not even temporarily (http://whitepeakrangers.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/pictures-from-last-workday.html). Now all has been resolved: this short section of new path is of an excellent quality, part tarmac, part Toptrek, and leads quickly to the next section, which was built from the successful bid for Government funding in 2013. Bravo DCC! Chapeau bas!
