 Rowsley Bar, that's a vicious climb on the bike! Will you be higher or lower than you are now P.M?  You'll probably find slightly less rainfall there but plenty of opportunity for snow; it's an open, bleak and windy area at the top of Beeley Moor and Big Moor. 

Still dry here with sunny intervals and the same line of showers moving east across the Buxton  and Bakewell area. Wind gusting to 38 mph.

Just how I Iike it TM ! I will only be slightly lower at around 285m on Harewood Lane just off Beeley Lane , I have always wanted to live up there, all down the solicitors now ..  Yes Rowsley Bar is a real tester on the push bike, Ive only managed to get up once when i was younger and did my leg's know it !
