Bit of local knowledge for you if you're interested.
Travelling North up the M1 come off at J29 signposted to Chesterfield. Don't come off at 28 and go through Matlock - it's not nice!

So,
Off at J29, A617 dual carriageway to Chesterfield.

At end of dual carriageway take last exit at big roundabout - signed Sheffield A61.

Straight accross next roundabout.

2nd exit at next roundabout, small road signed Cutthorpe. (Don't take 3rd exit A61 to Sheffield!)

Road becomes derestricted in about 1 mile, twisty narrow bits to staggered T junction.

Straight accross at staggered T junction.

Just keep going, ignore all turn offs (good road this bit!!!)until you eventually reach the T junction on the main road (A619) to Baslow - turn right.

First exit at big roundabout - into Baslow.

First exit at next (smaller) roundabout.

Keep straight on, (ignore right turn to Bakewell) eventually over a cattle grid, a couple of hundred yards further and then Chatsworth entrance is on your left.

This route has the huge advantage that it cuts out Chesterfield Town completely, and most of the numptie traffic - hoorah!

Cheers see you there
Duncs.

P.S. forgot to say, If you want to meet up with the pre-meeting at Owler Bar, just turn right at the staggered T junction and keep on and on along very twisty and narrow road. Eventually you get to Owler Bar roundabout - just blat round it a couple of times (it's very big) and you'll see us. (11:30am ish.)
