Stephen WarwickParticipant
The forecast for Wednesday evening’s torchlight walk is looking wet and cloudy so I think we’ll save this for another time.
Cheers
Steve WStephen WarwickParticipantA brief reminder for the walk from Monyash this Saturday. 10:00am start from the car park , around 8 miles, weather forecast excellent. So far I have a party of 4 (me, Mike D, Dave C and Ali). Please let me know by tomorrow evening if you are going to join us.
Cheers
Steve WStephen WarwickParticipantReminder: Sat 15th July walk from Biggin (GR:155594). Meet for a 10:00am start by St Thomas’s church on Main St where there is ample roadside parking. Please let me know if you are coming along by 10:00pm on Thursday evening.
Cheers
Steve WarwickStephen WarwickParticipantI’m really sorry but I have to cancel my walk on Saturday. I picked up a virus recently, thought I was over it but even doing a shortened version of Pete’s walk today had me struggling at times. I hope to do the walk at a later date.
Cheers
Steve WStephen WarwickParticipantI spoke to the landlady of the Castle Inn, Bolsterstone today. She remains happy for us to go in at the end of the walk and is going to reserve a separate area/alcove at one end of the pub for those club members who are comfortable with going inside. This area also has an external door which can be opened for additional ventilation. Hope to see many of you tomorrow, whether or not you are going to the pub afterwards. Happy New Year everyone.
Steve WStephen WarwickParticipantAs things stand this walk will still go ahead as arranged. However, the Covid situation is fluid so watch this space. My offer of a drink in the Castle Inn still stands for the moment but I know that some members will be wary of meeting indoors – therefore, in addition, I will be providing tots of ‘whisky mac’ at our lunch stop along the way.
Take care everyone, stay safe and have a very Happy Christmas
Steve WStephen WarwickParticipantThere is a spare (free) ticket available for the ‘Show of Hands’ gig at Buxton Opera House this Thursday (4th) at 8:00pm, as Chris K can’t make it now. We are taking one car from Sheffield so transport might be available too. Let me know if you would like to join us
Steve WStephen WarwickParticipantThree of us going to this gig now (CK, ML & me). Anyone else – please let me know asap, I’m getting the tickets tomorrow
Stephen WarwickParticipantGeoff – I have a 2015 Pinnacle Dolomite 4 road bike I want to sell. Medium frame, carbon fork, weighs about 8kg, good condition. I did the Prudential Ride London/Surrey 100 on it in 2016 and 2017. Let me know if you are interested
Steve WarwickStephen WarwickParticipantAt this late stage I’m not sure what I can contribute to the communal meal so how about I bring some red wine to share?
Cheers
Steve WStephen WarwickParticipantA reminder for the monthly walk this Sunday, 2nd Sept. If you’re not climbing or heading for Crafnant the walk starts from Old Glossop at 10:00am. Details can be found in the message posted on Aug 10th. Please let me know if you are planning to come along
Cheers
Steve WStephen WarwickParticipantSome more information about Clumber Park. Anyone who is not a member of the National Trust entering the park by car has to pay (£3.50 I think) even if they are with a member. Anyone who wants to avoid this should enter along the minor road from Carburton, pass through the old gate pillars and just over the bridge to a rough parking area on the right where a side track with a wooden barrier leads off (OS 120, Mansfield and Worksop GR: 615 736). From there cycle past the barrier on tarmac for a few minutes and swing right to the ornamental bridge (which was badly vandalised in March) and meet the other riders there shortly after 9:30am.
A couple of people have said they might join the ride at Tuxford which would make a round trip of roughly 30 miles. We should reach there 10:30-11:00am. I can recommend the Chilli Petals café there which is on the road which goes sharp right off the right-angled bend in the centre of the village. There is street parking on that road.
The route is mostly on tarmac but has a lengthy (10 miles each way) stretch of old railway line.
Whatever your plans, please let Mary know so we know who to expect and where.
Cheers, Steve W
Stephen WarwickParticipantThe section of the B6521 from Grindleford to Eyam is still open for pedestrians and cyclists
Cheers
Steve WStephen WarwickParticipantAfter a bit of thought I’ve tweaked my ride for tomorrow and it will now be a more manageable 46km and 700m of ascent. Let me know if you are planning to join us (me plus one}
Stephen WarwickParticipantI can’t walk this Thursday but will be riding from the same starting place at 11:00am. If anyone wants to join me the route is all on roads, 60 km and 930m of ascent. Café stop in Tideswell. Back about 3:00pm
Cheers
