@BootstrapCook A very important thread - thank you, Jack. It's also a reminder that it's more expensive to be poor. The obvious examples are rent v mortgages and the cost of prepayment metres. But I always find myself returning to Terry Pratchet's 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness:

@PeakDistrictMTB @Derbyshirecc @KoftheP @ridesheffield @peakdistrict @groughmag @shftelegraph @derbyshire_live Add it to the sadly growing list.
Wigley Lane
Rushup edge
Chapel gate
@Derbyshirecc & @peakdistrict time to get an engaged right of way officer & experience of building maintaining bridleways. You might want to speak to @christchurchcc about how port hills rangers work this out.

We're alarmed by @Derbyshirecc work on Pindale, which is seemingly not in line with published plans for the site. Full story on our website.

@Arundodonuts @KoftheP @PeakDistrictMTB Bridleway only appalling in winter/spring/autumn. Once dry is fantastic technical/pumpy trail. There’s certainly an argument to shut it Oct-March. Would protect against erosion/deterioration. We’d regularly shut tracks in 🇳🇿 to protect them over winter. Eg 👇 #mtb #peakdistrict

[Giles Page @dr_gingerwizard]

@KoftheP out early this morning Eldon hill & rushup edge. Rushup cutting up badly, took home half the peat in Peak District. lots of trail erosion from not using perfect main trail. @PeakDistrictMTB is it time to talk using rushup footpath as bridleway over winter? #peakdistrict

Given the number of lockdown parties @10DowningStreet seems to be growing exponentially, will @pfizer @moderna_tx or @OxfordVacGroup be releasing a vaccine to stop the spread?

[Giles Page @dr_gingerwizard]

@KoftheP Chapel - Hayfield - Chinley. Glorious. Trails running well few puddles & sticky bits. hayfield campsite descent pretty dry until very bottom. Pls avoid top of chinley churn as is complete bog (up over hill & new allotments avoids worst & get best of cracken edge) #mtb

@dr_gingerwizard @KoftheP @Derbyshirecc Most we know right now is here but we're chasing an update https://t.co/gYH5VwdYgI

[Giles Page @dr_gingerwizard]

@KoftheP riding conditions around south head & Roych clough pretty good. Sticky in places. Top of Roych clough from Sheffield road still not back to pre-heavy machinery rolled out. @PeakDistrictMTB will this be addressed & what are @Derbyshirecc plans for cave dale?

Anyone else find that cycle insurance market values & like for like offers are hilarious at the moment?

[Giles Page @dr_gingerwizard]

Given state of bike market it is almost impossible to do like for like or old for new anymore. Insurers failing to take this into account.

[Giles Page @dr_gingerwizard]

renewing bicycle insurance in next couple of weeks. It’s a swindle! Replace like for like up to market value 🤣 5yr no claims. Insurance quote with same provider £+++ more this year.

Commenting on the state of English cricket in a national newspaper surely counts as a publication & valuable CME points? Right???

[Giles Page @dr_gingerwizard]

Have a read. Take 5mins. Fake papers & research is nothing new: brief synopsis from snake oil merchants to Andrew Wakefield to current day. Is it any wonder that we now ask “show me your data” 🤔
