Synopsis

Guide to cycling in and around the Peak District National Park, on road or trail bike. 20 day routes and one multi-day cycle Tour of the Peak District. All easily accessible from Sheffield, Huddersfield, Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent. Routes from Ashbourne, Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton and many other charming Derbyshire towns right across the park on quiet roads and off-road trails. All graded from Easy to Hard according to a combination of distance, gradient, terrain and ascent. The Peak District is now becoming a popular cycling destination with its network of quiet lanes, gentle off-road trails and stunning upland views just right for two-wheeled exploration. All the routes are described in detail, with information about nearby refreshments, cycle hire, public transport and parking, and illustrated with OS maps and route profiles. Appendices cover cycle hire outlets, car parks and public transport in detail as well as outlining a basic tool list and basic tips on bike maintenance and repairs.

À propos de l'auteur

Chiz Dakin's cycle touring adventures almost happened by accident, when after a local photography trip by bike she realised that she'd done 50 miles in a single day with a reasonably heavy load. This led to the disconnected logic that if she could do that once, she was now ready to tackle multi-day cycle touring, and two weeks later set out on the Land's End to John o' Groats route. Since then she's done several other multi-day trips including a pioneering Welsh coast cycle route (600 miles and 16km of ascent) but still maintains that you don't need to be seriously fit or fast to enjoy long multi-day routes. (She certainly makes no claim to being either!) She has also recently won an award for her photography.
