Among the estimated 5000 people on the park on Sunday were local Sustrans Rangers Shawn and Ben. Our main aim was to continue to raise the profile of Sustrans and the local cycle routes whilst also give a bit more of an insight into our work locally and more information on Route 63.
We spoke to a good number of people and had some very encouraging talks and took on board some useful feedback.
The main focus coming out of the event was the number of people asking or commenting about the missing link between Swadlincote and Burton on Route 63. Any updates to this will be posted but this is something we are pushing at every opportunity.
Another point that arose was giving information about how close people are to the National Cycle Network. When time allows, we intend to put a new section about how to access the cycle network from places in South Derbyshire - watch this space.
For those unable to attend, below are a few photographs from over the weekend. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to take more pictures on Sunday as we were busy and battling with the wind!
