I used to cover Whaley for work but that was 5-6 years ago - is the bike shop still there?

Yep.
People have been moving Road Closed signs, driving through (or just driving round them in the pavement), finding out that, astonishingly, the road is actually closed and then doing an angry 7-point turn and roaring off the way they’ve come, driving on the pavement around the Closed signs again.
Morons.
Totally normal for New Mills where the general standard of driving is freaking abject at the best of times.
Everyone can go home! 🙂

Chapeau to everyone who has worked 24x7 to get this sorted and support the Whaleyites in the meantime.

‘Little Fika’ – apparently it’s Swedish for coffee
Communal coffee break really. I miss Sweden.
Stand the chopper down.
Need the pubs to get beer now........
Was over Whitehough, Chinley way yesterday, plenty of beer there.
Road closures have certainly helped get rid of the long queues up High Lane down to Hazel Grove caused by the new bypass, alas it will soon be back to the new normal!
You can still access a lot of the surrounding area through Goyt Valley and Long Lane AFAIK.
Someones going to get a nice bill for the use of the chinook.
The bridleways round Mellor (that aren’t weirdly surfaced) are in an incredible state after all the storms. The bottom is like a sand dune, the middle a rock garden and the top just mud. Making the uphills a bit more fun!
