Had a restful day being cosseted at Frank and Audrey’s. Did the washing, \u00a0stocked up on food and Nigel got his shoulder checked out at the Minor Injuries Unit in Buxton. \u00a0No permanent damage and healing well, as is the leg although the bruise is an interesting kaleidoscope of colour.<\/p>\n

This morning we cycled along the Monsal trail, another fabulous track on a disused railway. We left this at Hassop station and then headed to Hathersage on the B6001. We knew this would be a bit hairy and it was, but we are here safely.<\/p>\n

Now we have to confess to a bit of cheat here. The direct route to the beginning of the trail from Buxton is about 4 miles along the A6 but no cyclist who values their life would attempt this. When we were in Buxton in July, we reccied an alternative route that we’d worked out but it was horrible. Busy road, heavy lorries and steep hills. So instead Frank gave a lift in his car along the A6 to the start. We are really grateful for this leg up, it made for a much easier day and he also took this photo. Thank you Frank.<\/p>\n

Not only is the Monsal Trail an easy ride (and down hill to Hassop), the scenery is spectacular and there are some amazing tunnels.<\/p>\n

This is the view from the Monsal Head Viaduct.<\/p>\n

After we left the trail, we stopped for our picnic lunch at Grindleford, one of the many lovely villages in Derbyshire.<\/p>\n

Nick and Ann have met up with us in Hathersage and are staying in the same place as us. Off for a meal now.<\/p>\n

Long day tomorrow through Sheffield and staying near Barnsley. We’re halfway there and definitely in the North now!<\/p>\n
