No Oracle, I meant the High Peak Trail.Originally Posted by Oracle
I've never heard of the White Peak Trail. The High Peak Trail runs from its northerly point at Dowlow in a south easterly(ish) direction for 18 miles to Cromford. After 4 miles, at Parsley Hay, the Tissington Trail starts and runs in a southerly(ish) direction for 13 miles to Ashbourne.
My club, Matlock AC, put on the White Peak Marathon which is run up the Tissington Trail to Parsley Hay and then down the High Peak Trail to Cromford. All off road and, IIRC, was voted last year by Runners World as the 4th in their top ten best UK marathons.
Perhaps you are confused by a combination of the above which has caused you to invent a new trail!
Currently both trails are extremely quiet as the car parks are closed. I am fortunate as I can reach the HPT with a 4 mile bike ride /run. However, in normal times, weekends and holidays can be very busy and best avoided but during the working week generally very quiet.
