Anyone live near Buxton?

[slinky182]

Im moving back to Buxton to finish my degree and wondered if anyone lives around there to show me some decent routes :?:

I live in Derby, but ride in the Peak from time to time (not as often as I would like, of course!) There are a few others here who ride in the Peak. This book's good:

If I start a trail in Buxton, will I be able to follow it round and back again or do I need a map to follow?

not really done one near Buxton as such, your best bet is to either get a book or just an OS map and follow the long green dashes

Very near Buxton. There is absolutely positively no riding of any kind in the Peak District at all. Rubbish in fact. Don't bother visiting, or living there at all. It's all pants. The guide books are a waste of money too (VG White and Dark Peak, two Cicerone guides are especially pants).

Move to London, lots of top notch Mountain bike routes there. Beer is better, people friendlier, houses cheaper etc etc




Of course this could all just be subterfuge to keep the Peak (note Peak and NOT PeakS) quiet for local people.

Yeah thats what I was hoping to do. Don't worry about a B&B either, the girls at uni are dead friendly!
