Heading to Hadfield
Location: Padfield, High Peak District (England, UK)
The last bit of the Etherow Goyt Valley Way is water free as it heads down the Longendale Trail to Hadfield.
Bamford Clough, hitherto a notoriously steep and rough track, has just been tarmacked, and should become known as one of England's tougher cycling challenges.
This is not a cycleway. It is dangerous coming down with a heavy bike, even walking. And pushing one up?
Whoever designated this a cycleway is an idiot.
Stupid cumbersome barrier that cannot be cycled with a trailer. This would be near impossible for a disabled person.

A loaded touring bike is perhaps not the best choice for the Trans Pennine Trail at this point, where it climbs steeply over Pikenaze Moor on the approach to its summit. The Woodhead tunnels pass directly beneath the viewer at this point.
Looking rather beautiful on this still summer morning, Bottoms reservoir in Longdendale is here seen from ncr 62, where it uses the track-bed of the spectacular Woodhead rail route just along from Hadfield. This town was often the setting f
