One downside of an increase in visitors is an increase in graffiti. These are all relatively recent on Higgar Tor. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve seen anything like this up there. @peakdistrict

I’m excited to be partnering up with @cervelo in 2020 not just as an athlete but also a partner who wants to help support me in other objectives. One of which is to help open up cycling and triathlon to young people who would not otherwise be given the opportunity to take part

After the recent flooding across the Midlands, we are luckily unaffected and still in full adventurous operation. For groups travelling to us today, local roads have now reopened but keep an eye on updates from local authorities for any changes.
