Easter Sunday cycling treasure hunt

GRAND  EASTER CYCLING TREASURE HUNT FOR ALL THE FAMILY!
ON THE NEW MULTI-USER PATH FROM MATLOCK TO ROWSLEY
EASTER SUNDAY 16 APRIL 2017

Meet at Matlock station at 10:45 for a prompt start at 11:00 (Derby train arrives at 10:30)


Fun for all the family! We will ride to Rowsley along the new multi-user path to Darley Dale and Rowsley, stopping at a number of places to search for clues and answer questions. At each location children will look for a letter which after rearrangement will spell out a well-known word. Adults will answer a few questions. There will be prizes for the winners! We will be passing through the delightful Whitworth Institute Park - and expect to see steam trains en route! Refreshments will be available at Caudwell Mill, Rowsley, after which we will ride back without stops to Matlock, arriving at about 14:00. Most of the route will be traffic-free, off road path consisting of tarmac or Toptrek (crushed stone - like the Monsal Trail) surface. Almost any bike will be appropriate for this ride. Parents, please look after your children when riding over the (very short) road sections. 

Organized by the White Peak Sustrans Ranger Group

Thanks, Les! That was in the Whitworth Institute park some time last year. The train is in fact a Santa Special chugging alongside the path we shall be taking! (I had nothing Eastery!)
