Buxton... Thats the Peak District isn't it?

Hay. I still visit occassionally! (the forum that is, fraid I live in Buxton still!) Buxton is only good in the summer! That will be between July 12th and July 14th, other then that is cold cold cold :(

[Quiff Wichard]

some fit women there though !! worth the ride..

Buxton I mean not the women..

..:)

bet the cat is froze solid this time of year.

[orose]

Think its too major to freeze too badly. I was up that neck of the woods earlier on, and it was dryish and not too slippery, but there were deposits of ice where a plough must have been used.

Perhaps we can start an oldies section on the Org.

But there will be no micky taking about Saga holidays :smt072

[kwak zzr]

the best thing i find to do in buxton is eat chips and drink coffee.

[orose]

Pretty much the same as Matlock then, I reckon. Best thing to do there is to enjoy the ride there, stock up on chip fat, then enjoy a ride further over into the hills.

SAGA = Send A Granny Away :-)

I came from near Buxton.....

There's also Long Hill to Whaley Bridge which is also good on a bike. Could do Buxton to Whaley via Long Hill, there to Macclesfield through Kettleshulme ("over the tops") then C 'n' F back to Buxton.

Buxton also has the Pavillion Gardens and the Opera House (for cultured people like you this will be an attraction :-))

But at Tomcat says, it's nearly always 10degC colder there than anywhere else. I once got caught in a snow flurry in June.
