Went up to Ashbourne with Finn. Found a camspite & cycled a total of 21 miles up & down the Tissington Trail. A lovely stretch of old railway
First we descended down & through the tunnel into town - then ascendd from 200->1100ft up onto the dales.

Camped in Ruby as it rained++
On the way home on Sunday visitted Derby town centre and found the site of where Gt-Gt-Grandad James Shackleton had his drapers shop! We cycled the 400yds he would have walked everyday to his house in Wilmot St, now the site of a through Road & Mosque!
He had come to Derby from Manchester around 1850 and married a local girl.
