Support the Monsal Trail link proposal
A planning application has gone in for a signed link between the Monsal Trail , which should be available by Easter 2011 with the tunnels re-opened making for a level, motor traffic-free route from Bakewell, and Buxton town centre and station.
To support it, go to http://pam.peakdistrict.gov.uk/ and search for the Planning Ref NP/HPK/1010/1096 When the same ref appears somewhere near centre left centre on screen, click on it, then on "Add Comments". It'll ask your name, address, phone and email and give you the opportunity to click "Support" and to add a brief comment if you wish. Finally tick the "declaration" box and "send".
This is part of a spectacular project ~ part of NCN680 ~ that deserves our support in spades.

Tunnels Walk, 2009. Soon this route will be open to all!

Ranger ride & meet
We had a ride and meeting scheduled on Saturday to have a look around the Network and start to draw up our annual plan. Actually only Richard turned up and I let him off the meeting, but we had a good ride anyway. Sadly the Manor section had a lot of litter but the route is mostly rideable - very little broken glass was encountered. We spotted some options for route improvement around Waverley, using the off-road footpath rather than the trail, and had a think about we could improve signage in Bowden Housteads. On the way back we spotted some opportunities for improving routes around the Station area:
This temporary bit of track has been made by Network Rail engineers working on the River tunnel (the Rivers Sheaf & Porter meet under Sheffield Station, platform 5)
A little extension to the track would make for a useful link, completing the off-road cycle track between the station and Park Square.
The "Artistic" Graffiti artists had been at work:-
and on the way home I found another example of their work, this one in the River Porter:-
Work has started on the Sheaf Valley Park behind the station :-
It looks a mess at the moment and a lot of mature trees have been felled but hopefully when complete it will be an improvement.
