Sorry to ask a cycling related question on CS, but I couldn't think where better to post it.

I've just been plotting a route on Bikehike ready for a group weekend out of Buxton, and it didn't want to let me plot a route north from the A537 through Goyt's Clough - it seemed to think it was a one-way road.

There's nothing to suggest this on the OS map, but I'd like to double check before we go up there, so any local knowledge much appreciated.

Thanks

    I've never been there, but it looks one-way on google maps!

    Hiya,

    It is a one way, uphill from the reservoir to Derbyshire bridge.
    Sadly, the road, my favourite local cycling road, is currently closed for repairs following some landslides.

    It was scheduled to reopen at the end of July, but looked nowhere near ready when I swung by last Sunday.

    Do remember it for a future trip though, it is a cracker, and closed to traffic on summer weekends! :D

    Ieu,

    Many thanks for that - I think we'll go out of Buxton north on the A5004 and cut across to the top of Errwood reservoir.

    I used to ride that every week, it's on my favourite 68 miler hilly, had 4500ft of ascent in just 68 miles!

    No worries Mr. Smooth,
    Have a good weekend.

    Freehub, I'll try to remember to post as soon as I see it open, I think it'll get busy with all its fans at the weekend!

    TBS, do you mean for bikes, or for all traffic?
