Graham is back on two wheels again riding his newly acquired Gold Wing, the sounds of Radio 2 wafting from it rather spoil the Hell's Angels image!
Breakfast was planned for the Grouse & Claret Inn at Rowsley, but due to traffic and us being pulled by the police at Doveholes - "inspecting tax & tyres sir" we were 10 minutes late so we had to stop for lunch instead.
Now I'm all in favour of our brave boys in blue catching criminals, but the copper who stopped us was ONLY stopping bikers - don't car drivers evade tax & have dodgy tyres too? Anyway we were all judged fine upstanding citizens and allowed to continue our lawful passage along the queen's highway.
Through Matlock & Matlock Bath then parked up at Carsington Water where fun abounds and ice cream is served very slowly.
Some visitors - two wheeled and two winged!
Then off towards Leek and Rudyard Lake. I got the satnav to take us the pretty route and apart from wanting us to go through a ford that looked rather too wide & deep for my liking, it did take us down a series of country lanes before putting us on the A roads.
One photo opportunity arose so here it is:
