The Peak District

Hi guys, not sure if this is posted in the correct area or not, so feel free to reposition if necessary.

I thought I'd have dabble with the Tyre route planning programme to see if I could create a TomTom/Garmin file that overlaid part of the www.bywaymap.com website and invent a route in the Peak District of around 2 hours and 40 miles that would include a number of BOATS.

Well after quite a bit of tinkering, here it is... Can you local guys give me a steer on how well this might work (I don't know the area) and also please feel free to send me some other "must do" BOATS or sites in the area. Once I've got enough mileage/places to visit to make a weekend of it, I'll create some extra sat. nav. daily routes. Then dependant on numbers or interest I'll put it together as a proper ride-out.

In principal, how does that sound?

Cheers
CD

I knew I could count on you, so much that you're already on my provisional list!

A bit of information that may help with your weekend planning.
An excellent meeting venue or not to be missed stop off is the Yonderman Caf� at Wardlow Mires (very close to your planned route).

http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUse...e_England.html

Additionally the pub opposite has a campsite, not sure how big group friendly they are but it�s worth giving them a call.

http://whatpub.com/pubs/SHF/107/thre...-wardlow-mires

I must admit to never using the pub but I regularly partake in a small (believe me it�s not small) Yonderman breakfast on a Saturday morning.
And sorry, not being an off-roader, I can�t help much with trails. However you may find me joining you for the road sections.

Thanks for this Leo, this is exactly the kind of information I am after!

Hi this looks like quite a route I'm from bradwell which you skirt past on your way to abney, are you planning on going down the old Road at mam tor at castleton? If so you may struggle with teneres through the pedestrian gates if not it's just a minor detour down winnats pass, not to put a downer on it just pointing it out.When are you planning on doing it as I'd like to tag along I also know of a couple of other lanes out towards Hathersage and Sheffield which may extend your route somewhat. If I can be of any help let me know.
Cheers Rich

Hi Rich, once again "Talk to me".. ! Send me your suggested routes and recommended places and I'll add them into a route. Your local knowledge is what I am trying to steal (cycle gates etc) to make a great ride out weekend.

Whilst I am pretty handy at car routes, this off-road bike thing is new to me!
I am looking for
But probably not in that order!
