Castleton

[Guest]

Had a nice little ride out to Castleton yesterday, scouting a route out for when my mate gets his new bike. i did the 25 mile trip, got my camera out and i had picked up some dead batterys damn!!! so i had to ride into the village and buy some more

Anyways, here it is.

im not parked in the middle of a road btw, its a dead end.

Is that the bottom end of the road that collapsed? Was at the top end last year, an amazing sight. And the new pass they made looks a lot like Cheddar gorge

Looks fantastic mate! I need to find a good spot in London. All that's around here are big motorways

My dad lives in Castleton - its a great place.

If you want a nice road - turn right in the village of Hope, follow signs for Edale. Just keep on that road - it keeps close to the rail way line then turns up a very winding road to the top of Mam Tor (where all the para gliders jump from). At the top you can turn left and come back down the amazing Whinnets Pass and back into Castleton. Alternatively head for Sparrowpit and choose between Buxton and the Cat & Fiddle, or towards Bakewell & Matlock.

Enjoy.
