Clare Bettridge

April 21, 2024, River Dove and The Tissington Trail

Map not entirely accurate. Ended up in a dead end at the start and had to divert through the Ashbourne Tunnel (flooded today ankle deep). Once through the tunnel I headed left up the road and through a footpath to the right to get back on route. Rest of the route was fine although very muddy in parts so wear suitable shoes. Some broken stiles to navigate/find an alternative way round. Scenery stunning though and worth the effort. Once back on the Tissington trail it's plain sailing
