Went for a challenging but beautiful couple of days in the Peak District. Train out to Sheffield, cycle up some bastard hills, stay in a remote youth hostel and eat enormous meals for dinner and breakfast, then another day of slightly less bastard hills. Wonderful way to spend a weekend, and I managed to make it up Winnats Pass and Snake Pass without giving up at any point. Although I probably recorded the slowest ever ascent times on both of these. Great stuff, and nice gently achey legs this morning.
For people who are interested in routes etc.
Day 1: Sheffield to YHA Gradbach, via Hope Valley / Winnats Pass
