Short (5 to 6 miles approx 21/2 Hrs) loop from Monsal Head out to Brushfield and back along Miller's Dale.
Meet at 11:45 (for 12 start) outside Public Toilets (Glamourous !) next to Monsal Head Hotel. There may be FREE parking on Longstone Lane (opposite Hotel) or there's a large Pay and Display at the back of the Hotel (4 Hrs for £5.50 Cash or pay by phone). N.B. The small carpark at the top of Monsal Head is one hour only!
This will be muddy, there's a couple of sharpish ascents and descents so boots are a must. We'll go under and over the famous viaduct with lots of beautiful views all around. We'll go through Litton Dale along the river (mudfest!) to Cressbrook Dale and back to the Monsal Trail!
