well apparently there's a visitor centre including bike hire and cafe at fairholmes
but i've never been in it

 

[longers]

There is a cabin selling brews and stuff at Ladybower - not sure if it's up to Postmans usual standard though - or The Woodbine in Hope is an excellent cafe and very cyclist friendly

 

[marinyork]

There's a cafe by the dam splitting the two reservoirs isn't there? Or am I imagining it. Like bonj says at so called fairholmes. Castleton has quite a few places.

 

[postman]

Hey i'm a greasy spoon man myself.Anywhere for a brew.

yes, fairholmes is at the dam between ladyblower and derwent.

 

[fossyant]

Well didn't know that - been a roadie for far too long - never really stopped for long in that area as it's only 20 miles from home, so we'd usually fly through, and when on my own I don't stop. I see it's tucked up off the A57.....I must get off tarmac roads a bit more....doh.....

 

[bonj2]

you can get to fairholmes all on tarmac if you go up the west side of ladybower. (and slightly past it aswell, cars aren't allowed past fairholmes though)

Hot back from a three week leave of absence in the US can anyone update me on where the southern Jersey is? I see walker got it at some stage and he is almost a spitting distance from me and I would like to partake at some stage.

Cheers.

ChrisKH, welcome back!
At present the Southern Jersey is with Gezza and if timed right we can get the jersey to you via paulus and TheDoctor who are in Hertfordshire!
This will of course bestow a great honour upon TheDoctor as he will then have escorted no less than two of the relay shirts to date!

All your shirt are belong to us!

Just had a look, and ChrisKH seems to be about 60 miles from me. If I get the shirt from Paulus on Sunday, I'll try to get it to ChrisKH ASAP after that.
Be a bit of a long day...

Yes, but you've got the bike for it! If only I did........

 

[fossyant]

OK....any preferences for times to meet at Ladybower / meet location - or is it Fairholmes Visitor Centre/Cafe ????

Any preferences from the Manchester lot over route and meet ups ?

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

It's very much dependant on SWMBO and the sprogs.

If you suggest some dates I can see what I'm allowed to do
