South Yorks Scamerati have just pulled a flanker.
The Truvelo on Hathersage Road A625 near Dore Moor Inn has been uprooted and moved to the other side of the road closer to Sheffield.
If you're hoofing it from Whirlow, you'll have to be pretty quick to avoid it as it's now hidden beyond the bend before Long Line.
Bastids.
I can see no reason for this. It protects the Long Line crossroads, but I've never seen a high speed incident there. All the other accidents (bar the TVR) have been in the opposite direction, closer to Whirlow.
It will, of course, raise far more money than its previous location.

Good suggestion. I do that.
Keep an eye on events, the Park authority and/or Derbyshire Council have it in mind to stop us.
Various suggestions have been made, including bus only access to Burbage and blocking the road at the bridge.

Not looked for a while, but there used to be some loony stuff on there.

That's the point they're trying to push. They reckon it should'nt be used as a commuter route. They say we should use the A625 for that.
Learned all this when I objected to the blanket 40 limit. They sent me minutes of relevant meetings.
The official reason for the limit was to save sheep from high speed impact! I suggested a fence, but this was rejected because it would inconvenience ramblers and spoil the view.
It seems they hadn't noticed the fence on the other side of the road that's been there since life began!
Now there are fenced areas beyond Burbage bridge all over the place. Ramblers must be beside themselves.
Interestingly, police objected to the limit but were pursuaded to withdraw when they were assured the limit would be "self enforcing", whatever that means!
Interestingly also.....One year on, post-limit, they were calling for enforcement because sheep deaths had increased!
These people are a threat to freedom and need to be watched. They think the only people worthy of enjoying the views are those who can devote a day to getting there by bus and walking about. Why the hell should we be denied that delight on the way to work?
Grrrrr..........
