Following on from the first route (Snitterton to Grangemill) - here is a much longer section with some superb laning along both cobbled tracks and actual "green" lanes and fields.

Starting on Map Section 1: If you have followed the first section down to Grangemill and have reached the main Via-Gellia road (A5012). You need to go straight over the A5012 on the B5056 towards Longcliffe and Aldwarke. Once on this road, you almost immediately can take the next Right (into Aldwarke) as an alternative route to the main B5056 - I have marked it on the map in BLUE. If you stay on the B5056 - you must turn right at the crossroads in Longcliffe.

We pick up the trail again on the left of the road after the farm buildings. It is a tracked road with a crushed limestone surface. A sharp turn to the right, followed by a more gentle bend to the left brings you into the middle of some farm buildings and the trail simply appears to peter out...

If you consult the map at this point as I did (sat conspicuously in the yard with the engine reverberating around the buildings) - you ca see that the trail becmes indistinct. It actually skirts across the field on a North-Westerly bearing keeping to the right hand wall. In the summer a big patch of nettles in the middle of the field is a good marker. Keep to the right (even though some tracks go around to the left of this by the left hand wall - it isn't where the path actually is - simply where the farmer goes). You will then head towards a gate. Go thorugh this and head long the left wall side toward a distant gap to follow the right hand wall of the next field.
Minninglow is very close on your right. This whole sction makes you feel uneasily lke you have wandered by mistake onto some farmer's land. Stick to it and don't wander off course.

You will go through several more gates before a final gate leads you back onto a track that feels a little more comforting - surrounded on both sids by limestone walls. This is called Roystone Grange. You are adjacent to the burial mound at Minninglow now and the track leads you down eventually through a final gate onto the High Peak Trail. You need to go straight across the trail through another gate and down a rough track. At the bottom the track turns 90 degrees to the left, then along between a bank and the field until it bears right to another gate. Through this gate and up the slope until after a winding section (Minninglow Lane) brings you down to meet the road named Parwich Lane.

At this point we need to move onto Map Section 2

Go straight over Parwich lane onto a narrow track with two wheel indentations from the passage of arm vehicles. ON your left after about 150 yards is a (disused?) building marked as "the nook" on the map. This section heads around to the right and slopes upwards to two gates. The one to the left heads to (and past) Uppermoor Farm and is a RoW. We however, go through the main gate in fornt and head approx North-West up the field on an indistinct track through the split between the fields and ultimately reaching a gate in the top left corner of the field. This is excellent riding up here on grassy undulating ground - open it up and enjoy the moment before you have to anchor all too soon for the gate.

Through the gate - and a succession of gates until you finally come onto Candlemere Lane - which is just part of the track and not a lane you'd bring your car along. You can head right at this point down towards Pikehall - but we carry on along Candlemere Lane until finally (through a huge puddle at the end) emerging onto the main A515 (Ashbourne to Buxton) road.

I then turned right along the A515 for about half a mile, turning right down towards Pikehall along the A5012. At Pikehall you can turn to the right up a rough track - crossing Mouldridge Lane - and emerging back onto the road down towards Longcliffe and back to Grangemill (Marked in RED). You may now reverse follow Route 1 back to the Top of Snitterton and down Salters Lane back into Matlock.
