MadManMike Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 So far we've done Buxton, Matlock and we've just done Heights of Abraham and are now.munching chips on the weird non-seafront seafront. It's been good so far, pretty chilled out The cave tour was fun, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the last Friday of every month. They have some cracking beer there too. I'm going to it by myself it's that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Swales Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Balls, I totally forgot about this. Dave has covered much of what is have out in my list anyway so not so bad. If you do go to the Padley Gorge/Hathersage area, I recommend The Chequers on Froggatt Edge/A625. The Bull's Head in Castleton is good after a Man Tor walk as well. Make sure you check out the old A625 on Man Tor as well - it's an old road that has been broken by successive landslides. Great for photos and MTB/trials.

Ben Swales Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just realised I'm waaaaay late with those recommendations. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted October 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Yeah too late unfortunately, we got home this evening. All good stuff for future visits though, I'm sure we'll venture that way again soon - especially as it's not as far as I'd expected. We walked down the old A625 actually, there was loads of parts that looked like fun on a bike. In fact, most of the places we went I wished I had my bike with me. The A625 was fascinating, seeing all the layers of road was pretty cool. We started from the top and didn't realise what it was at first, it was only the white lines further down that gave it away. Pretty sketchy that it was used for so long after some of the first slides! Thanks for posting these up anyway, definitely going in the "future ref" folder!

dann2707 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Nice pics mate. Pretty damn honoured to say I live around the area. So glad I moved down here. Still love Leeds but I find myself being open to so many more things in the midlands. Love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 It's a lovely place, for sure. We're definitely going to be visiting again, we were there for three days and felt like there was way more to see. Similar in a lot of ways to Snowdonia, but more stuff to do.

MadManMike Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Damn anzo, shame you weren't here before I went, they all sound really good! We'll definitely put those on the to do list next time we're up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'm in loscoe, about 20 mins from Matlock. I went to the air crash site yesterday actually. Its a fair old trek up there but there are easier routes. If you attempt it during these months wear warm waterproofs and decent waterproof boots as you have to walk across Moors. I'll post up some photos later on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
