Google Maps time from Loughborough 88min for 61 miles
Head for Leek and then take the Buxton Road. The left turn you need is not marked. It is rather less then 2 miles past Hulme, but if you see a pub called "The Winking Man" on your right then you are just overshooting the turn! You need to turn L at the crossroads just before the pub. After making this turn you need to fork R at 350m and then fork L in another 650m. At the T-junction at the foot of a steep hill turn L then fork L. |
