This is a fantastic 2 day, bike packing trip in the Peak District, with an overnight camp at Rowter Farm, near Mam Tor, Castleton.
It starts at Cromford Wharf, south of Matlock, and then uses a mixture of gravel tracks, bridleways and small roads. Highlights include, the High Peak, Tissington and Monsal Trails; the stunning Longstone Edge; Shatton Moor; Ladybower Reservoir; the Broken Road on Mam Tor, plus the Pennine Bridleway.
The scenery and route are both absolutely stunning. It certainly is a challenging ride, featuring tough climbs, a few knarly descents and one push.
Would I do it again? You bet I would! I absolutely loved it and I hope you do too.
If you have any questions about either the route, or the kit I used, please put them in the comments below.
There is a lot of parking at the start and even a small railway station, if you choose to arrive by train (Cromford- Arkwright Mill the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution)
