Description

Alternate version of LONBAK 1 after walking and reviewing it for the monster national parks trail project.

This is mostly the same route more accurately plotted. The main route change is to use the direct upper Lathkill Dale path out of Monyash rather than the Limestone Way which is rougher and less direct. The route into Bakewell has been changed to avoid steep steps and main road walking, and I made a very small change just east of the A515 to reflect what the trodden paths do on the ground rather than using a right of way that is no longer visible or signposted - this also reduces the main road walking
