great video thank you ❤ 👍
Heh thanks, you are most welcome.
Hi Julie I had a ride round this route today starting from Cromford train station. It was a lovely day out, but the drop down the Pennine Bridleway to Chee dale was definitely a walk on the wet rock and mud. However saying that I don't think my bike skills would even allow me to do otherwise in the dry. Look forward to getting out there again in some warm weather.
Hi Roger. Glad you enjoyed it. Polished limestone is never easy eh? Especially in the wet. The thing is that sketchy bit does get you off the road which is a bit narrow with quite a few bends- you have to keep your wits about you . We are all ready for dryer weather - that's for sure . Take care
Love the new video, who ever does your editing really knows his stuff, well put together 👍
Thank you so much.
I pay dearly for his services lol
Wow I gotta try this thank you for the video and guide. Well done
Cheers. Great for this time of the year.
A absolute blinder Julie!
You certainly pulled that one out of the bag.
Let's hope you get a bonus from the Derbyshire Tourist Board 😂
💚💨
Lol! Kind words- thank you . I loved filming that one and the ride was fab too. Sometimes, I think, I take some of the Derbyshire landscape for granted. Its stunning.
Cheers Dave
Saved that to watch tonight, fantastic… just lost me dog and have been feeling down and watching your vids don’t half give me happy vibes, loved it so much, your happy manner is just the best… thank you!
Will deffo be heading that way over summer :)
Sorry to read about your pooch :-(
Glad I've been able to help a tiny bit. Hang in there. Yep you need to visit .
@@JuliePhelanExplore yes deffo, any campsites near to that loop you did, might be nice to drag my wife along but she struggles on hills, did you see my last vid?… lol
Bloody do love how happy you are… can’t wait for your next vid.
@@dunkwilsable I'm on holiday at the moment . I will contact you when I get home. Re: campsite - camper, tent or caravan CL or CS ? Yep many possibilities. Take care
Thanks so much for these, Julie, the GPX files are so useful.
You are most welcome. Thanks for commenting.
Hi Julie. I’ve just come across your channel and I’m so glad I did. I can’t help but watch with a smile because your enthusiasm and smile is so infectious. I’m going to do this route in spring. I will start off at Lea Mills so will have a nice climb to start with 😧 I live in Shirland near to Alfreton so I’m not to far from the start.
It’s a lovely ride, thank you. What great positive comments! You’ve made my day :-) Have a great Christmas. Enjoy :-)
@@JuliePhelanExplore You’re very welcome. Merry Christmas 🎅🏼
Great to see you out again Julie, looks like a fantastic route, hope to head up that way soon ❤
Thank you . It is indeed. Cheers
That last hill is a killer 😅 great video👍🏻
It is lol ! Thank you
Great video, as always! thank you for the GPX file down loads.
Thank you so much . Comments like yours keep me going .
I live in Tideswell and have been looking for a nice way to pull these trails together. Now I have it :-) thanks so much Julie
You are most welcome. Have fun
Miiiiint !!!sunny peak district can't beat it
Thank you
Hi Julie, me and my mate did this ride yesterday, but with a few tweaks. We started at Thorpe Station on the TT then rode clockwise. We skipped the chee valley downhill scramble to the Monsal trail and instead did the downhill to Millers Dale. Lastly, after the huge Middleton incline, we stayed on the high peak up to Longcliffe, then dropped down to the ford before climbing up to Tissington and rejoining the TT. We did this to avoid Carsington as it was the hottest day of the year and we couldn't face 2 more climbs, also wanted to do a bit more high peak, before descending again so soon after Middleton top. You could also continue up the HP then cut across to TT at Biggin. All in all a great ride, thanks to you!
Heh thats great thanks. Yep Carsington can be a nightmare when the weather brings everyone out. Timing is everything there!
Thanks for your contribution.
Dont know how you have breath to talk going up from Cromford canal you must be fit
Are you doing Glorious Gravel Peak District in September Julie?
I have a lot events planned around that time so probably not. Are you?
@@JuliePhelanExplore Yup it will be my longest ever ride (60 mile). I did the Chilterns 46 mile this month as a tester and really enjoyed it. The hills (up to 35%!!) and the muddy puddles (up to the bottom of the crank) were out in force:)
@@darrin2382 wow ! Well done. I can't think of a climb in the event area that's as steep! If some of the route is on the trails you will get time to recover and back off a bit. Regular fuelling is the key. If you are thirsty or hungry you've left it late. Have fun. Sorry I won't see you but I wish you best of luck breaking your next goal. Let me know how you get on. Have fun.
Hi Julie. Did you ride the High Peak Trail last Saturday (27 May)? I thought we passed each other and I remember thinking if it was you . . . and like you do, dismissed it as I thought what was the odds of that happening . . then I've just watched the above 😊.
What a shame Graham we didn't get to say hi! Yep it was me. See ya soon lol
@Julie Phelan I knew it !! I was on my way back to Middleton Top at the time. Chances of that happening eh.
@@grahamlynch1953 think I was wearing a ProVision top rather than my usual Here Come the Belgians . What a shame! Are you local?
@Julie Phelan West Yorkshire based. High Peak, Tissington and Monsal are on my regular go to places. Get the bike loaded onto the car and travel down. Did the High Peak Trail about 3 weeks ago as well. I was on a mission for that one. Last year I did the HPT but planned on going back on the Tissington Trail but cutting across part way down to get back on the HPT back to Middleton Top. I kept looking for the turning but missed it and ended up at the end of the TT in Ashbourne !! Luckily, google maps got me back to my car. So returned 3 weeks ago with the route plotted on my new garmin and all went well. Last week was just to do the HPT in glorious weather and enjoy the cafe stop at Parsley Hay. Met some nice cyclists there chatting over lunch. Luckily, it was the best day of the BH weekend for weather and had a great day out.
See you sometime ???????
Hi julie, the route is coming up as a private route so cant download it
Sorry I'll check it on Komoot?
@@JuliePhelanExplore nothing to apologise for flower. I know with strava you can copy and paste which opens the Route up then you can safe or download it on to our own strava dashboard. Love the vlogs/video's.
@@keepontreking3661 thank you
Its a great route for this time of year. The only sketchy bit , due to polished wet limestone, is a relatively short section down to the Monsal Trail. Have fun.
Forget that last comment, had a midlife crisis, looking and not seeing 😅
Are you sorted?
