About the route
Starting point
There are a couple of laybys leading up to the Fairholmes Visitor centre, Bamford, Hope Valley.
Join us for this all day spectacular ride around the beautiful Ladybower Reservoir. The Derwent reservoir was used by the RAF’s Dambusters 617 Squadron to practice their low level flying techniques during 1943, in preparation for delivering Barnes Wallis’ famous bouncing bombs to German dams. The 617 Squadron Dambuster's Memorial is located just inside the gatehouse to the Western Tower of The Derwent Dam.There is a visitor centre there, although it's probably wise to bring along a couple of snacks and drinks as we're likely to be out a long time. We will cycle around the reservoir with a couple of refreshment breaks as needed. We'll be there at 9.30 for a prompt 10 am start.
