New Yoga Classes at Sawmills Village Hall

by Linda Philo

Holistic Hatha Yoga with Sue logo

Yoga is an holistic practice that benefits the health and wellbeing of the mind, body and emotional (spiritual) aspects of our being. Often in life we can feel fragmented and unbalanced causing our bodies to feel strained and tired, our minds unable to think clearly and our emotional or spiritual self to feel unsettled, restless and even dissatisfied with our lives. Yoga helps to unite our entire being so that we feel whole and completed therefore improving not only our physical health but also our emotional and mental health.

Results of the 10th Crich Monument Race

by Andrew Auld

Running the monument race

Final results from a fantastic tenth annual Crich Monument race have now been published. Download below. The race was run in good conditions and was won in an amazing record time of 39:15 by last year's record breaking winner Dan Haworth of Matlock AC. Dan's time, over a minute faster than last year, was all the more remarkable because of a slight change to the course over Crich Tors which added a few extra metres to the route.

First woman home, Eleanor Lunt of Long Eaton RC came in a time of 49:52.

A total of 242 runners completed the gruelling 11.3km race. As usual the race was excellently organised and thanks to the team of marshals keeping the runners safe and to all the support from the crowds enjoying Crich Fête.

Derwent Valley Cycle Way Cycle Safe Ride

by Andrew Auld

Cycle safe event advert

The Derwent Valley Cycleway is an aspirational project to create an off road cycleway between Derby and Baslow passing through the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site and linking a number of significant population centres including Derby, Duffield, Belper, Cromford, Matlock Bath and Matlock. You can read more about the project on their website.

The project group is holding a campaign ride on the morning of Saturday 18 May to support and put pressure on Derbyshire County Council to bid for money to create a safe off-highway cycle route from  Derby to Chatsworth alongside the river through the World Heritage Site.

Experienced riders will cycle from Derby University (who are giving it their support) through Allestree, and on to the A6 up to Matlock. The project group is hoping to recruit up to 500 experienced riders, but for a leisurely ride, not a race!

More information about how to register for the ride is on the Derwent Valley Cycleway website.

The possible route of the Cycleway

There will also be an alternative ride for families and inexperienced riders from Rowsley down to Matlock on the new cycleway that has been created, thus highlighting that although families and general visitors can cycle down this short section, they are unable to cycle to any of the attractions in the World Heritage Site.

The plan is to meet up at lunch time on the park at Matlock where organisers hope there will be a hog roast and a local pop group on the bandstand. They are also hoping to attract a series of stands from cycle suppliers, shops etc to add interest.

Hopefully TV and media will be there and organisers may ask everyone to wear a silly hat. If not for the ride (optional) then in the park. With prizes for the silliest hat.
