Just back from a three day cycle ride with Ted and Dave. We used the Pennine Cycle Way

which is a Sustrans route that goes up the Pennine Chain. We started off at Ashbourne in Derbyshire and followed old rail lines to Buxton. This was through the lush and hilly Peak District

we then enjoyed wind, sleet and some great hills to take us to Holmfirth in Yorkshire. To get to it we cycled over Holme Moss [highest road over the Pennines] and reached our B&B at Holmfirth at 7.30 pm. I think it is fair to say that I enjoyed it more than Dave and Ted. Holmfirth is where "The last of the summer wine" is filmed - this is a British sit-com that I have never seen. When I asked Dave what it was about he said "Oh just three old blokes..." it took us a while to realise it was quite an appropriate stop for us.
