We step back in Derbyshire history on this tour to a time when travelling around the Peak District wasn’t quite so easy and you literally diced with death!
Our twin shared accommodation is in the centre of Castleton - a beautiful town established back in Norman times when King John had a castle keep built. It is still there and a great workout getting up to it 😝
Our accommodation dating back to 1660 was a coaching inn and many tales of highway robbery and murder have been spun whilst the villagers sat around the warm fires 🔥in the winter. But, it is true that the likes of Black Harry frequented these ancient tracks and you will hear more about his antics and demise….
Murders on the moors covered by swirling mist and bountiful heather have a sad but real place in Derbyshire’s history - along with many other dark events.
But death was not always a perpetrated act - an act of love sometimes was the reason. We’ll walk to Lovers Leap and hear some of the tragic stories about what occurred there in the name of love.
Our weekend wont be totally overtaken by dark pursuits - as we will enjoy lots of biker banter, full English breakfasts and I’ll buy the first round 🤩👍🏻
We’ll meet at Matlock Bath on the Friday for a stands up time of 1000hrs and time travel to the dark days of Derbyshire …
I’m going to make you hand over your money to join this tour at £250 p/p which includes 3 days guided riding around Derbyshire, Staffordshire and South Yorkshire visiting our sometimes violent past and the evidence left - and maybe taking the place of judge and jury over these heinous acts.
Just £100 deposit for this one please.
