| We'd arrived
at Hartington Youth Hostel in the late afternoon, so we warmed up by heading
up the Tissington Trail to the northern end of the High Peak Trail and back.
The joy of these trails is that, being former railway trackbeds, they are
very gently graded. The High Peak trail is less popular at its northern
extremity, and the path becomes pretty rough for cycling beyond Parsley
Hay. Eventually it ends against a still-active quarry ay Dowlow, any further
progress limited to footpaths. A very pleasant couple of hours. |
