Lyme Park back gate

About 60 years ago (when I was about 7) I cycled up here with a bunch of 'big' lads, it would have been about a ten mile round trip from our house in Woodford (see extras- one with my parents long before I was born and one today) we squeezed our bikes (mine was a tiny 'fairy cycle' with solid tyres) through the tall kissing gate meanwhile getting a thorough telling off from the gatekeeper who lived in the house ("In future go via Disley!") but I remember we later came back the same way and my hands went numb riding with solid tyres on dirt roads! Tough that kids don't get to do that sort of thing these days. And a big thanks to the ten and eleven year olds who were happy to take me with them!
