• The friend who I mentioned earlier as living near Ashbourne lives on a farm in the manifold river valley. The river itself runs through his farm. Amazing area, I spent many a school holiday up there helping out during lambing etc.

    His Dad's farmhouse about a mile away has the most amazing view from the upstairs toilet. You sit down to take a dump and can see directly down Dovedale...

    If memory serves me correctly, isn't there a cycle path on a raised but abandoned railway near there?

    This is my problem...as soon as I start to plan the route I get distracted by all of the options! To solve this, I have broken the route down into three chunks and will break it down further to help me plan it point to point.

    Cheers all for the tips...keep them coming. And if anybody wants to tag along for part or all of it, just holler.
