I'm there for the day on the 5th Jan and have a few hours to kill whilst my son does his weird card game stuff and want to get a good run in.

Dooogs Dec 2018 10:29am, 30 Dec 2018 5,320 posts	Quote Pin Dooogs Proper locals will know a nice route for part 1 better than me* but it'd be in three bits: 1 Town centre to Hillsborough; 2 Hillsborough to Loxley; 3 Loxley to Damflask (the Percy Pud route) *I don't think there's any motorway or the like to traverse, but I'll check for a nicer sidestreet route once I'm on the PC...

rf_fozzy Dec 2018 10:38pm, 30 Dec 2018 8,284 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy For added fun, go over Loxley Common and High Bradfield with a loop around Agden. You could return over to Rivelin and up to Sandygate lane or something. Boring roads to Malin Bridge and back from Crookes or Crosspool (depending on route) though
