Any chance you could do that anyway. I'm interested to see if your favourite local roads are the same as my favourites. If you set it up as a collaborative map I can add mine after and then we can share it on here for anyone visiting the peaks.
Sorry Monty I can't remember my Google logon and unfortunately cannot get a reset at the moment. Here's the route in long text, hope it makes sense.
I was going to take the A6 heading for Bakewell but turn off onto the B6049 after a few miles and take that road through Middleton in the Dale until I get to the T junction with the A623. Then take the A623 to Calver
before taking the A625 up Froggats edge. Pick up the A6187 and travel via Hathersage over to Sicklehome Garage where I will turn of and head for ladybower resevoir and then take the Snake pass A57 to Glossop.
At Glossop I was going to tun around and ride back to Calver in reverse as those roads are amazing and feel completely different travelling in reverse. We can then stop in Hathersage at Colemans Deli for some lunch
before going via A625 Froggatts edge to Baslow. At Baslow we can take 13 Bends upto the A6 and head for Buxton.
Before Buxton I will turn off onto the A5270 and then pick up the A515 into Buxton. From Buxton we could then take A5004 Longhill road to Whaley Bridge, then turn left onto the B5470 and head for Macclesfield. At Mac we take the infamous A537 upto the Cat & Fiddle pub for refreshments
before departing our own seperate ways.
What do you think. Basically a big figure of 8 over some great roads with a few good stops for refreshments. Plus I know the roads well and where we need to be extra careful in accident black spots
