[Guest]

Geesh, blerry women, we have to do everything oursleves

[Chrissb6]

O.K folks this is the route that l hope to follow.

I will give it a run as soon as it fit and give you all some feed back on time and distance, l think it takes most of the good roads and sites around Derbyshire obviously its going to be down to the weather and the like. Judging by this weekends weather, if you've nothing better to do you might want to get the maps out and have a look at the route. if anybody got any ideas or comments please let me know.

As said these are very good roads with views to match. I will do a run and try and sort out a decent place to stop on route for drinks and the like.

Have a good weekend

Chris
