In spite of the miserable weather in Sheffield and Chesterfield, by the time 6 of us got out to Monyash, the rain had cleared – or perhaps had not even inflicted itself on that area, as the roads were dry. A quick cuppa to get us going and then off on a loop on mainly backroads past Flagg to Over Haddon, back along the Long Rake, by-passing Parsley Hay, the gated road via Pilsbury to Hartington, where we took up Bill’s recommendation of the farm café. Thanks Bill. Onwards through Hulme End, avoiding the B road, to Longnor, Crowdecote, Earl Sterndale and a more gentle climb up to Sparklow – almost in the sun, and a final cup of tea at Monyash café. 31 miles, 3238 ft of ascent. There must have been something in the tea, because we only descended 3205 ft! And apparently, I should have burned off 2200 Calories. Thanks everyone for a great day.
Sorry, just found that Parsley Hay cafe closed on Oct 31st so if you are coming on the bike ride be prepared! We’ll try to find an alternative. Dave C
