A campaign group called Peak Horsepower is being set up to put pressure on the Peak District National Park Authority and Derbyshire County Council to extend and improve the Peak District bridleway network. The next meeting is being held on Monday 13th September at 7.30pm at Monyash Village Hall. All riders are welcome and this meeting will formally set up the organisation, elect officers and agree the campaign's aims and next steps.

Please come and show your support to improving the bridleways in the Peak District.

PLEASE READ even if you are not a newcomer:

Please park considerately.  When un-boxing please park sensibly, you should make sure that you are not blocking a lane or driveway. Take care not to park on a manicured verge or do anything that may cause congestion or inconvenience to other road users.

Arrive at the meet a little before the time that is stated on the meet card.  On arrival at the meet as a matter of courtesy say "Good morning" to the Huntsman, Whippers-in and the Masters – even if it is past midday.
