Todays PDE was a 25 mile and 1,600 feet ride on the cross bike taking in 8 miles of the High Peak Trail. Very few people about but had a shouted chat, over a drystone wall, with a Metal Detectorist who was trying to find treasure in a newly ploughed field!
The 3 HPT car parks I passed through all had signs saying that they were closed, and no cars were present, but nothing to suggest that the trail was closed to people who could get there under their own steam be it legs,wheels or hooves.
