The Dark + White Peak

Our 3 day tour of the Peak District National Park following the “Dark + White Peak Route” Equipped with our hardtail mountain bikes and our pre booked Airbnb’s me and Annabel set out to complete the Dark + White Peak route over 3 drizzly days in October. The route has something for everyone to enjoy and is also testing in many different ways. Technical riding is common place and especially in the wet, expect hiking for up to an hour at points and longer if on a Gravel BikeRe Supply is not an issue and you can find shops fairly easily along the route especially in the second half. We did the route in 3 days but for a more relaxed trip where you can properly take in the highlights along the way it could be done in 4. Saying that if you pack light and have some dry weather a 2 day ride of this route is definitely doable as well. Thanks to riders Cass Gilbert and Ian Fitz for the original route 🗺
