Another Peak District Question

FunkMaster007

Hey Guys,

Just found out that the wife wants to head up to Manchester to meet a friend and since we going up there, figured I might as well get some riding into the mix ....

I am not very good at the seriously technical stuff, but wouldn't mind some advice on routes and rides in that area and perhaps a good bike friendly B&B that I could stay at.

Thanks
Rob

Been hunting around, seems like Ladybower is pretty popular and I guess I should park at the Fairholmes visitor center .... I figure there is a bike place there that can advise me on a route ... etc

Anyone know of accomodation around there?

Also do a search on this forum.

There are loads of routes around the Ladybower and Hope Valley area, it's difficult to pick out just one.

If you go to Ladybower get there early and preferably park in one of the lay bys before Fairholmes as they are free and the visitor centre is a bit pricy. Don't park on any of the verges though or you will get a ticket. If it's a weekend and good weather it will be packed.
