In the future we will look back and laugh about how, once upon a time, we were restricted in meeting together for work days, and instead we sat at home with our coffees, looking at each other on a computer screen .
What a fantastic turnout today on our February Zoom call. Just about everyone who regularly attended our work days in 2019 dialled in. I think we have a brilliant group of Volunteer Rangers for the Peak District region . We can confidently say that within our group we have actiive representatives in the far north, up to Whaley Bridge, and the far south down to Ashbourne, and beyond.
I like the idea of a work day along the Cromford canal, taking in a clamber to the top of Scarthin Rock and a view across to Willersley Castle. Thank you Clyde for making us aware of the resurfaced track by the church.
If anyone gets the chance to try the new link from Rowsley to Bakewell, via Coombs Road I'll be interested to hear what you think. Once it is resurfaced I think we can put up some suitable (temporary route) signage up . I think we know this is just a temporary alternative until the Haddon Tunnels are re-opened but, despite the hill up Church Lane it is a great link between Rowsley and Bakewell that avoids the treacherous A6. Now we can start to put pressure on to find a temporary link from Wye Dale to Buxton.
I have sent separately a link to the new Draft Derbushire Cycle Map.
