Into Darkness - a photo on Flickriver

Into Darkness

            Emerging from the far end of the Headstone Tunnel to burst out into the sunlight once more of Monsal Head (from which the trail gets its name) and onto the viaduct across the Derwent River that winds it's way around the trail.
Since being a kid I have always wanted to explore the full length of the Monsal Trail in the Peak District, which follows a 9 mile stretch of old railway line from Bakewell to Blackwell Mill. At the time none of the tunnels were open so large detours had to be made following the Derwent River (that was over 30 years ago, mind!), but with the tunnels now opened it was a great trip to take the bike out on.
