Great informative video! Looks a great ride. Hoping to be in the area in May. My wife and I have the hybrid bikes rather than full mountain bikes. Is the surface of the railway track fairly smooth or does it have rocks and stones and uneven surface? We have done the Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail in the Dales so wondered if the surface was similar. Not sure we could manage the rough and stoney tail you were on so would probably just go on the railway trail to the reservoir and back if its fairly smooth and no rocks and uneven rocky surface. Many thanks Martyn
I'd say the surface on the old railway line isn't as good as the Tissington trail in general, but you'll be fine on a hybrid or even gravel bike. It's a nice ride with good views, hope you enjoy it.
@NTLife Thanks for reply and information. I think we should be ok as our bike are good spec. Looking forward to the ride. Thanks again for video posted.
