More stuff about the Derbyshire High Peak Trail,
Derbyshire. We cycled approx 24 miles from Middleton Tops to Parsley Hay and
back tracked to Middleton Tops again. This route is Very easy, suitable for all
ages.
The High Peak Trail has only one steep incline from Middleton
Tops to Parsley Hay which is just over a mile from Middleton Tops, apart from
this it is virtually quite flat and requires hardly any effort to keep a good
pace going.

We cycled the High Peak Trail June 2003, The Trail was dry and
dusty, and for a hot summers day and on a Sunday, it was reasonably quiet, we
did expect a lot more people cycling than there actually was. My wife Wendy,
had a new Giant Boulder FS hardtail mountain bike the day before we cycled the
High Peak trail, so it was her first proper ride out on it.
