MTB, wildlife and the great outdoors, mostly from home in the PeakDistrict. Snapping whatever catches my eye.

About to head down the zigzags from Cowdale. Prime trails conditions, sunshine and blue sky. A good day on the bike πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘ŒπŸ˜Ž

I’m afraid deep down, neither can I, but they didn’t offer custom colours at the time 😒

Look at all that lovely permissiveness @keeperofthepeak.bsky.social

πŸ˜‚ I was waiting for a comment on that! Actually did it south as part of the Peak Divide route during a gale a few years ago, but never the classic loop including north. Long overdue I know! I’ve only been riding MTB in the Peak District since the early 90’s 😜🀣

Cutgate. First time for me, doing Langsett & back from Ladybower. Tough going & hard climbs, but great descents that make up for the effort.

Some sloppy, boggy bits but not too bad @keeperofthepeak.bsky.social

Spotted this Sparrowhawk out of the window today. It was pulling apart something furry whilst keeping an eye out for the likes of me!
Unfortunately the window wasn’t very clean, but I grabbed the camera and snapped it anyway.
Great to see.

I’ve started exploring it, but there are so many offshoots and junctions it’s quite a slow process. I’ve been checking Strava and other people’s routes

Bitterly cold but decent conditions, with plenty of frozen mud and drying trails around Win Hill and Whinstone Lee Tor yesterday morning. You could call it a Win-Whin situation πŸ™„πŸ˜‚ #mtb #mtblife #peakdistrictmtb #coticbikes

The track from the bottom of the Beast down to the reservoir is a complete quagmire @keeperofthepeak.bsky.social
Got worse half way down. Obviously work vehicles using it, but very sloppy mud

More greyness this morning, but at least it included a lovely grey calf, just 2 days old #mtblife #highlandcow

Filthy around Bakewell Haddon & Chatsworth this morning @keeperofthepeak.bsky.social
Park Lane (& field before it) zero grip. Had to push & clean mud off.
Manners wood filthy but rideable.
Grey, foggy & cold, but good to be out of course!

Ah nice, the highland cows are back. And hopefully the fly tipping near the cattle grid has been cleared up?? Just after the feeder in the photo

The bog on Curbar Edge is as bad as I’ve ever seen it. Otherwise a fantastic sunny ride this morning. Longstone, Baslow, Curbar & Froggatt Edges + RileyTek, albeit with a testy headwind at times! #mtb

A much nicer morning for the dog walk than forecast. I’ll take that! Snow fading fast but still icy in places.
