Back in the dark ages I used the Tissington trail a few times whilst going cycle camping in places like Wetton Mill or Hulme End. Eventually, as I got to know the White Peak better, I realised that there were much, much better routes even if they involved the occasional 1 in 6. I've always ridden there, mainly from home which is 30 miles south of Ashbourne, except on one occasion when I did the Burton 200K (my 1st 200K) which started from Rolleston-on-Dove. ATB Paula
Me and my girlfriend have had many happy hours on the trails in the Peak District, great scenery and some great places to eat too. Looking forward to going back there. So nice to see you all smiling so much, it's great being on a bike ay it duck!
Nice trail! Nice lid too! Just ordered a MET Terranova, I need the extra protection because of the frozen patches and frozen roots this time of the year. Had a few scares :) Love the videos!
Looks like a fun ride. I recently moved to the West Mids and looking for off-road adventures. This is exactly the sort of route that I love. Have you uploaded the route anywhere (gpx, whatever)?
@@BicycleAdventureClub The first section of that route up the gated road past Thorpe Pastures is the route I used to take when camping up at Hulme End. I can thoroughly recommed it as an alternative to the lower section of the Tissinton Trail, which can get far too busy with children and dogs randomly running about.
@@Backcountryscot it looks good but if I'm honest I wouldn't recommend it. Way too floppy to be useful, unless stuffing it with a jacket or similar, hence the foam. Also the press stud closure can't be used on the fly.
