I was out green lane riding yesterday. The usually quiet Three Shires Head was very busy with walkers. Honey pots seem to attract. Generally quiet though.

I'll be up there today at some time.
I generally stay away from the Dark Peak area and make for the White Peak and Staffordshire Moorlands/Cheshire areas, though they can get snied out a bit too.

Yesterday and today, popular tourist areas rammed and lots of organ donors out on bikes. Still keep to the minor roads and lanes and things are fine. I suppose a lot of people are making the most of what they think may be their last few days of furlough. Shame really I have rather enjoyed the empty roads and footpaths of the last few months.

You might have seen me today. I was coming up the lane from Wetton Mill towards the tunnel.
