I'm near Derby/Burton, place called Findern. Fingers crossed I should be alright, my cars just off the road for the time being as the rad popped! haha. Just spent the money I should have spent sorting on buying the bike though! Much better idea I think! I wont be saying that come the first rainy day I've got work!!

On our first ride up there in Feb, Richie talked about a run down to the right before you get to the top of the Beast but I don't know where it is. Going straight on at Hope Cross past the Beast is a good run down, double back to the Right when you hit the road and climb back up to meet the A57, straight across the road and you're climbing up past Rowlee Farm again.
