Needing to get some bike miles in the legs, this evening I dropped down into Bakewell and on to Hassop where I took a left to Great Longstone and found myself held up by two sileage tractors and trailers whose drivers had decided to stop along side each other for a chat!

Up to Longstone Edge and down to Wardlow Mires where I joined the A623 for a not very pleasant few miles to Peak Forest. Won't be doing that again as it was far too busy. A left in Peak Forest took me to Wormhill and down into Millers Dale. A long drag up to Taddington and then a nice, mainly downhill run home.

31 miles, 3'074 feet in 2hrs 5 min.
