If you do the UCR off the A517 past Sturton Hall dont forget the way in is not the farm road that is tarmac, its the gate to the right although that will be very wet at the moment.

The UCR that goes north south from Atlow past Atlow Winn was TRO'd for repairs last year (September time), it may be open again.

Can't think of any others that may be a problem between. There are some problems further north though

Hi Mudface, have had family round this evening so not had chance to reply. We are going to start at Waterhouses and work our way up to Hulme end and then loop back before we move onto Sturston Hall. Its our first ride out this way, even though we live in staffordshire which is just on the doorstep. next time your down this way let me know and we will come out for a ride with you. cheers Gray.

Fantastic day out today exploring the many trails just outside Ashbourne in the Peak district. Some truly stunning views and wicked lanes and we only managed to bump into one BOBBLE HAT with an attitude (and granted we had taken a genuine wrong turn), will definitely be returning very shortly. Found a snotty HILL to match the offering over Stathern way which brought Toby out of his saddle and onto his head,,,PMSL. Anybody up for a ride over that way let us know and we will meet up.
