Notes from Peter..

• Drivers coming via junction 28 on the M1 SHOULD NOT  follow their Sat Navs, which takes one on a colourful journey around the back lanes and narrow streets of Wirksworth. Instead travel down the A38 towards Ripley, then along the A610 to Ambergate, then north to Cromford ( Matlock).They can use their Sat Nav after Cromford
• We have good parking conditions but please check where the tow hook is on your vehicles … just in-case we have to tow vehicles off the field!
