The hills are also good for reps. The hill opposite Barton overlooking the A453 is really step in the bottom and from bottom to top is a real good effort as hard as most climbs in local Peak District races!Also the hill above the Gotham by-pass (Gypsum Way< is good to0. Its actually not much further to the central Peak than the South Peak and probably worth that extra 20 mins in the car. happy to show you some routes if you PM me.
