Presumably DCC read this?
Just in case they do I would just like to reiterate what a fabulous job I think they do and how I love their forward thinking and open minded attitude and their efficient working practices.
Also, I don't understand why they are so concerned with the rocky bit, when a bit further along where the trail splits into one nicely drained rocky/stony path for the walkers and a field for cyclists which is basically a bog with ruts all over it?
Because that part of the track isn't a byway, it's just bridleway and footpath, so DCC has no responsibility for it I think. The irony, of course, is that the Chapel Gate/Ruship trough 'road' is closed to mechanised traffic by a TRO (Traffic Regulation Order) anyway... so while it's a 'road' it's not actually being legally used by vehicles now. You couldn't make it up really.

I assume DCC have been asked to attend the birthday bash.
You mean they're not on Singletrackworld right now?
Well, we [i]could[/i] make a pinada
Coming to the AGM John?
Ooops, ,missed this, but I'll aim to get over on Sunday. Two years eh...
Hi folks = quick reminder, we're having a little birthday get together on sunday morning on Rushup Edge to celebrate two years since it all kicked off.
People best bloody come, I spent an hour last night cutting out cake toppers!
:o)
Riding the kinder loop this weekend with mildbore pook so aiming to pop up after the ride
I'll save you some cake
Cake toppers. I thought you'd said poppers. Now i understand.
<no longer confused>
Happy birthday Rushup. I hope you have a lovely day xxx
PS on behalf of [url= http://www.peakdistrictmtb.org/ ]Peak District MTB[/url] members who have personally invested ridiculous amounts of time into this Rushup campaign, I do hope some of you can come and show your support.
Oh, I wanted to come, but we've got a family obligation in the morning and won't be free to bike until afternoon. I wanted to meet you all too!
You know me 🙂
All credit to them standing up there, it's bloody windy! I lasted about 10 minutes before continuing my ride but I'll stop by again on my way home.
Yeah it was a bit chilly
The DCC consultation for the repairs on Rushup Edge draws to a close 28th November, so still time to let your opinions be known. Peak District MTB have added some more info to their website to help you make an informed contribution to this process.

Awesome stuff 🙂
Some tireless and selfless work going on here. We should be more appreciative of all the work that goes on unpaid and often thankless to a degree. We just 'expect' it as we've paid thousands for our bicycles and it's our right.
Thanks guys and gals. I appreciate it and it makes me do good karma in other ways too 🙂
Another view on all this from Keeper of the Peak [url= https://kofthep.com/2016/11/15/rushup-consultation-kofthep-response/ ]

Excellent response
Agree that guy/gal knows his/her onions
I Really hope keeper of the peak submitted all that online. The consultation is clearly stated as being carried out onlineg, with the supplied address for questions about the consultation (not for consultation responses).
Basically DCC could totally ignore that response as it didn't come through the appropriate0 channel.
Thanks for update and all those working so hard on this.
hi folks,
We can't emphasise enough how much your input will [should!] shape this consultation. The work the guys at PDMTB have done is great and really useful in in informing your own response, likewise the message from @KoftheP. But they've only got in the room by having you behind them initially.
11 days until it closes so get on board, get your friends on board, get your partner, your brother, your sister, your mum, your dad, your walking friends, your horse riding friends on board and let them know why it's a load of tosh and why we're fighting it.
[b]Here's the detail, enjoy![/b]

Will do
Survey completed 🙂
Got my wife and son to complete it
Hopefully the officers will see sense get that material that was dumped there removed and do a proper job with stone pitching as per Roych.
Added too the survey
Cheers folks. Got to keep up the pressure!
Done the survey, but disappointed how brief it was. Was going to point out that the proposals didn't match the Bridleway design guide but unexpectedly reached the end (should have used the Back button, although they only give you 500 or 800 characters so need to be concise). For info, these are the questions:
Q1
Are you responding as... [individual, organisation...]
Q2
My primary interest in the route is as a ... [walker, cyclist...]
Q3
Please tell us how the scheme, if implemented, may affect your use and/or enjoyment of the route? [free text 500 characters]
Q4
Do you support the scheme? yes/no
if no, Please tell us why you do not support the scheme [free text 800 characters]
Q5
Do you think the scheme could be improved? yes/no
if yes, Please tell us how you think the scheme could be improved [free text 800 characters]
Q6
Are you: Male/Female
Q7
What was your age at your last birthday?
Q8
[definition of disabled person] Do you consider yourself disabled?
[if yes, Q9] what type of disability do you have?
Survey completed.
irony here.. dcc wants to do work on a byway that nobody wants done and yet at bamford clough the same dcc has closed the boat as it cant do the same work on a byway there that everybody wants done..
Survey completed, hopefully this'll get somewhere.
Keep up all the good work PDMTB and KotP, it's much appreciated.

Survey done, but just want to say what an excellent piece that was by KotP
KotP served as a great reference while doing the survey.
Good afternoon everyone,
First of all, thank you very, very much for your support for this campaign. We - me, PDMTB, Friends of the Peak, the BMC, Ride Sheffield and many others have been working very, very hard over the past two years to get it to this stage.
It may come to nought. DCC may choose to ignore everything we've said - despite us being by far the most vocal, representative and interested user group. We can only wait and see.
I've logged on here to ask for one thing. Please, please respond to the consultation. We've only managed to get them to go to a second consultation thanks to your support; it won't happen again.
I've responded officially as you've seen (it has been included in the responses, I checked), but your comments and thoughts and feedback all do make a difference.
Here's my feedback to them and a link to their rather limiting consultation. PDMTB have also done some fantastic work on digging into the consultation and plan so their research is well worth a look. I've also seen a strong responses from Friends of the Peak along similar lines.
https://kofthep.com/2016/11/15/rushup-consultation-kofthep-response/
As a final word - thank you once again. Though we should never have had to fight this campaign something very good has come from it; a huge, like-minded community. It's put us in a very strong position for anything we try to do in future. We've established ourselves as a very strong community now and that's a real step forward.
Stupid question: The survey is for 'Work to the surface and drainage of Chapel-en-le-Frith byway', however this work is already partially complete due to the rubble that they have dumped. If we oppose does this mean that we don't want it rectified or does it mean that we don't agree it should have taken place originally? Please advise, I don't want to vote the wrong way!
My advice would be to just be clear in your response on what exactly you want. Greybeard's shared the questions up there so refine your answer before you click submit i guess.
