Next Sunday's ride is pencilled in for Blaze Farm. We went there recently (instead of Peakview), so was wondering if you fancied somewhere else.

We've (I've) not been to the Candle Factory in quite a while, it's not too far away, and we can mix up the route there to get more miles in leaving us a shorter ride home in the fading light.

And if the weather is bad, we can go more direct.

Thoughts? Let me know and I'll put a couple routes together.

Cheers.

Kris.

Or, we could go to tittesworth visitors centre at the foot of gun hill?

Lots of room, and great scones!

No beans on toast at the candle factory either, quite stringent up there.

I'm plotting a route that will make you earn your beans on toast.

Includes snake pass and mam tor. 120 mile loop. Not for the feint hearted.

Gonna save it as a pre-llanberis training run...

Weather doesn't look great. Candle Factory sounds good to me with a big loop. Plan away Kris

I'll post a route tomorrow. I may or may not be out, so can someone with GPS stand in as a backup? Or someone who knows the candle factory?
