Calling all Derby Rangers! You
are cordially invited by the White Peak Rangers to share a ride with us over
the new multi-user path from Matlock to Rowsley on Thursday 30 June. This
essential link in the 60-mile circular White Peak Loop is being built by Derbyshire
County Council as part of the Pedal Peak Phase 2, paid from central government
funds. The MUP passes alongside the heritage railway Peak
Rail’s line, from Arc Leisure to Old
Road , Darley Dale. After a short stretch of not
too busy road to Darley Dale PR station, the trail continues through the pretty
Whitworth Institute park (with a heron if we’re lucky!), then alongside the
railway again to Churchtown. From there, a 3-metre wide Toptrek-surfaced path
leads to the Rowsley South station and the recycling center. Beyond that, the
completed path plunges into a wood at Rowsley and includes a section of
boardwalk carrying it over a swamp. There are sections of this which are not
complete at the moment but you will be able ride over most of it. Meet 10:25 on platform 1, Matlock railway station (when the train from Derby arrives).
