I attended a workshop session of the Sheffield Moors Partnership recently. What the hell’s that I hear you say?

As you can see, that encompasses a hell of a lot of good riding. The authorities who manage the land have realised that it will be a good plan to coordinate their work and, as far as possible, to follow similar management plans.

Support the application to extend the Monsal Trail
Whilst it might not be the most technically demanding trail you can find in the Peak District, its hard to argue what a great resource the Monsal Trail is for all kinds of cycling.
