Just wondered if anyone had been to dalby in the last few days as i see it says post 14 to 26 are closed due to the world cup and just wondered if anyone new how much this effects the red route as we are going tomorrow.
Thanks Lee

    It stops at dixons hollow and then re-starts at the beginning of the riggs-dales trail,so you miss off the back part of the red,which "imo" i find boring,and you will miss of the raised part and the bomb holes if my memory is right :oops:

    Looking at the map,im not sure if the diversion will send you down the adderstone trail(green) then onto the blue.

    A quick calculation and i think the red you can ride will only be 15 miles,instead of the normal 23 miles.......here is a link to the map,hope this is what you was looking for.....
