I found this info on another forum, looks like a lot of info here:
- Derbyshire CC's List of Adopted Highways (they call it their Definitive Map and List of Streets) can be accessed from here: Derbyshire Partnership Mapping Portal launch site Accept the T&Cs
Change the map information
Transport & Infrastructure
Adopted Highways. Use the icons below the scrunched-up map to zoom in and find the area you want to see. When roads are shown click on them and their status will be shown in the left hand panel.
- Peak District National Park have some useful information on their web site: Vehicles in the countryside - Peak District National Park Authority
- Information is available at TrailWise - The National Catalogue of Rights of Way Go to "Browse maps". Zoom in and move the map to the area you want and this will show basic information about the routes within a 5km radius.
- If you are tempted to try
- Long Causeway, Stanage Edge be aware it is fairly tough and there is a Code of Respect that says to drive down the edge i.e. east (Redmires end) to west (Dennis Knoll end) http://resources.peakdistrict.gov.uk/stanage/byways051016.pdf
- Chapel Gate - see this thread on Difflock Difflock :: View topic - Chappel Gate UIDs in TrailWise are SK0982-01 & SK0983-01. Enter these UIDs in the "Find an item box"

That difflock topic's a bit of an eye opener.... that route looks like it could demand a little respect!

Well I'm hoping to have super low range before we go I think I will be needing it but only If I can get my ass into gear pretty sharpish. Big tyres are great pitty it messes up the slow handling and gearing hopefully to be sorted.
Whaddon last time was an eye opener 1st gear was used much much more thant 2nd and 3rd was pointless far too fast. With 750 tyres the gearing was sweet. Jai

At the risk of being shouted down... is there a case for enlisting some local knowledge? Only a thought its just that I have been reading about voluntary restiisctions regarding some routes and other routes being driven only one direction etc?

Nothing when you have 750 tyres or 205 tyres I've been doing the Lots and Lots of maths gear ratios etc Will publish my results when I finish them but its interesting just how high the gearing goes with the big tyres on. It felt horrible when at Whaddon and I imagine for trialing it will be most horrendus so I want to get it back and possibly a bit lower. Jai

Okay this conversation is getting a bit techical, but Brett are you saying your series goes down hills faster than a 90 ?? I have a mil 1.667 transfer box, and I seem to fly down hills ??
With 900's yes, with 750's no.
1 revolution of a 9.00 moves you forward 9'3"
1 revolution of a 7.50 moves you forward 8'3"
so 9.00's down hill are 14% faster than 7.50's or 235/85R16 given the same gearbox ratios.
