(As is the case with the Peaks, a couple of lanes have since been made restricted)
Found at great little cafe at Wheston too.

Fantastic fun, thank you very much for putting this together.
I completed the route in two sections, South of Buxton and North of Buxton circular routes. Having not ridden for far too long I found the route through 3 shires head hard work due to bad body position and not enough momentum, conversely the route to the North is much more tame and I'd recommend doing it first to get into rock bashing on the easier sections before taking on the more challenging southern loop. I'd definitely choose the southern route if I'm feeling energetic in the evening as it's some of the best fun green laning I've ever done. Northern route great for a less technical countryside romp, still plenty of fun to be had. It's rarely dull perfectly graded gravel, lots of pot holes and rocks to keep you on your toes.
