Bobbie Rides 100Km for RNLI
- 26 Aug 2014
As you may remember from a few weeks back we were contacted by 11yr old Bobbie (Based in Blackpool) who told us that she was going to be doing a 100km ride to raise money for the local RNLI Station (see post here)
Bobbie and Ross Atkins started at 9am on Saturday 23rd August doing the first 12km in the pouring rain after which they both looked like drowned rats. They carried on through the bad weather and finally dried off by lunchtime. In total it took 8 hours 15 mins to complete the full 100kms and have raised £210 on just giving and have raised several hundred in collection buckets outside the RNLI station, it was also the RNLI open day.

Julian Page on the Monsal Trail
- 31 Oct 2013
The Monsal trail is about 9 miles long , running along a disused railway line from Bakewell to Buxton in Derbyshire. The trail goes through five amazing tunnels and two spectacular viaducts with views to match. The trail stops 2-3 miles short of Buxton and the link road is narrow and busy, so it’s best to start from the East end at Hassop or Bakewell. Map
There is plenty of parking at Bakewell or Hassop. My favourite start is Hassop (DE45 1NW) as there is a good café, toilets and a bike hire shop- parking is pay and display. Going west is a gradual climb so you get the benefit on the way back. The surface is good all the way so it’s easy on a 36” wheel. At weekends its quite busy with walkers and cyclists.
There are toilets at Millers Dale and a small snackbar/bike hire shop (open Spring to Autumn) at the west end.
The most impressive feature of the trail are the tunnels –five in number the longest is over 1/3 mile. They have only been opened up in the last three years. The have a good surface and are well lit.
The viaducts are worth a stop, there is often a group of abseilers on one of them
Views to die for!
The surface is excellent

It's one of my favourite railway trails and well worth a ride.

This is a new book written by Peter and Joseph Sidebotham.
This book covers many things besides the journey, "It ended up focusing on more obscure subjects, namely our family, washing up, and communication"
