tipple run
Where are you planning on stopping for the tipple run when you are up north. And which steam brewery. I recently spent an evening sampling the delights of the cock of the north steam brewery and spent the next day on my arse. I slept at mums as well so had to blame the lack of an evening meal and mixing my beers for my condition (both were true I might add). If you go there it might need renaming the topple run. As far as the route goes there are some great rides through the peak, at least on a pushbike anyway. I will have a look for some of the good passes for you.

cant even use the right damn bit - useless.... dont know about which brewery yet - too many to choose from.... had thought of jerusalem farm camping but no plans really yet will work out where there is a site close to a brewery with it being near you you might be on barrel supply duty - im not carrying one on my bike then hang at a campsite / pub /whatever when thats drained have a look at the map for me but we need roads none of that cycle path nonsense...

cycle paths
how dare you. Cycler paths are far too slow for me, and are covered in glass.
