We will join the trail at the car park located at the Bakewell Station Car Park and then ride along the trail to the western end of the trail. On the way we will pass through the Headstone Tunnel, over the Monsal Head Viaduct, through the Cressbrook Tunnel and over the Millers Dale Viaduct.
Please make sure you have suitable lighting for your bike for the journey along trail. Suitable clothing for the conditions being a night ride.
Money/card for anything you wish to purchase afterwards if you attend for refreshments.

At the western end we will stop for a drink/snack and hopefully observe the moonlight before returning along the trail to the car park.

On our arrival back to the car park, I will be making my way to the Woodyard restaurant on Coombs Road for coffee if anyone is interested. DE45 1AQ
