@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:
@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
@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
@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
@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?
don’t have vainglorious photo my covid/flu jabs or wearing PPE so here’s photo of the best mid-ride waffles from @Tagglanedairy
