Description
This route is closely modelled on DROSHE 1, but the intention was to make the GPX plotting more accurate (in particular the route out of Coal Aston). The GPX plot looked good on the OS 1:25000 map, but less so on OpenStreetMap, which I only realised after uploading it. I have made two other changes: (i) To cross the A6102 in a safer place near a roundabout, and (ii) a minor tweak in Dronfield to walk through a park rather than between industrial buildings, which is what most of the locals seem to do
