First foray into the peaks, should not have taken the quarry road out of Buxton, I was about to pack it in after that
The descent into bradwell was incredibly pretty, well worth,
Mam tor I completely under estimated and was thourally reminded of my congenital heart disease, pushed to the top, the other side is 20% descent???!! If it wasn't for the stunning rock formations that line it I would have gone the way I came up.
Road through hope valley is lovely, was planning to go onto Sheffield but with my heart feeling like it was going to explode I turned round a third of the way up, lovely wide road descent back into the valley, yet more great rock formations,
Sounds like quite the day out! A pretty typical intro to hills in the Peaks, steep and horrible.
I'd totally forgotten about this thread, I'll pm you with that rwgps link now
