nice ride today all ok for trikes i did this on 1.25 100psi slick tyres, if ridden from Bakewell . at the other end there is the Pennine bridleway, a steep zigzag grass track, i would ride down but would have to drag the trike up, or down to the a6 you would have to carry your trike for some of this.

Had a bloody awful ride across fields to get around the closed tunnels.
Then onto main drag up to Buxton.

Got my juices going about a trike ride on the new track.
I will be in the area on and off through the summer fishing the river, anyone for a fresh trout?. How would it be for an out and back ride from Bakewell?

no problem best place to get on is station rd, if you are not rushing there is lots to look at and some of the views are worth the ride.
just remember there will be boblers" pavement sheep" in the tunnels wearing all dark clothing completely blocking the path, some were not very happy that it is a bridleway/bike path not just a foot path.
why cant people just chillax.

this is a ludicrous idea, as tunnel gold fish are poisonous, the popho all-so known as gullumpers are a six legged beast how converse with each other with fwaa fwaa noises some times known to chase foxes inadvertently, thy also have a very clever trick of leaving piles of steaming excrement in dark tunnels. it is thought that they can be tamed, but this is absolute tosh, probably the fact that they look at you through there nostrils and speak through there a***.

a Porpoise is the fruit of a cactus like plant which need handling with care as they are known to attract bears. a good bear repellent might be a pointy stick or a banana held in a menacing manner 
we did see a man throwing perfectly serviseble children off one of the bridges, i did ask if i could have one as a spare minion as he did not wont them, but he said they keep climbing back up so it was a bit like the labours of Hercules and he gets a deposit back when he returns them.
the scenic views are nice though if you are vertically challenged a mirror on a stick would come in handy for looking over some of the bridge walls, or you could "stand up!"
at the far end there is a shed at the bottom of a steep short slope that rents tea, bikes and will sell you chocolate bars, if you go on a trike please point out you are not with me and she my give you a discount
if you need to empty call in at the old railway station just before you get the cycle hire place as they as yet do not have and facilities apart from a patch of grass to stand on while you go cross eyed
