The Perm version of one of the ever-popular August Wednesday rides from Marple.
This ride goes over Snake Pass from Marple, with the long but steady climb from Glossop to Ladybower. This is followed by a climb up to Stanage Edge, before dropping to Hathersage for a cafe stop at Hathersage Pool.
Another climb then through Abney to the Glider Centre and Bretton, through Ashford-in-the-Water and Kirkdale before visiting the excellent cafe at Monyash.
Return to Marple through Millers Dale and Buxworth.
