Peak District bivvy/camp June 23/24 POTENTIALLY BACK ON

Would anyone be interested in an overnighter in the Dark Peak on the weekend of the 23/24th?

Thinking of one night, (or possibly even two) lightweight bike-packing trip, and rack up a few miles in between café/pub stops for food, so we can keep gear to a minimum. I have a spot in mind in the Ladybower area, that I'm sure would be fine if we turned up late, and would set up well for a ride over cut gate down to breakfast in the café at Langsett. Getting an early start, and midsummer daylight hours could mean the chance to rack up a fair few more miles than the usual peaks rides, while still keeping a relatively relaxed pace.

could either put a few miles in on Friday evening, then finish Saturday, do a two nighter, or just start on Saturday.

If there's any interesest (and I can actually make it :roll: ) then we can work out more of a plan depending on availability.

Theoretically very keen, have to get stuck into the calendar a bit and try to make it work...
 
Re: Possible Peak District overnighter in June?

How is anyone looking for this? 23/24th works for me.

I reckon if we meet up early afternoon Saturday, that allows for a few hours riding then a pub dinner, followed by a bit more of a ride to an the overnight spot

Sunday morning - up early and head to Langsett Café over Cut-Gate for Breakfast, but it doesn't open until 9am, so not too early. Options from there, depending on how far people want to go, and how off-road they want to make it.

Unless anyone is desperate to be bitten by Derbyshire midges instead of welsh ones.

Hope that means you'll be in Wales...?

Unfortunate how these worked out, I guess this time of year is always hectic :( Definitely be up for a reschedule though, early September perhaps?

Bit more awkward, but hopefully I can make arrangements to be there...

It's only a few days before we leave for Australia so possibly 'logistically complex' here too, fingers crossed though!
