Departure from Bakewell CP (Derbyshire)
Bakewell to Manchester by public transport was a 2h30 trip. Too much of a sitting for us. We decided to walk the 13 k up to Grindleford (3h30 walk) and catch the train from there (1 hour to Manchester Piccadilly). The start is a bit abrupt, the section along the river splendid, and there is a pub 5 minutes before the train station, if you've missed your train (or if you're early for the next one)...
