I've only just seen this thread. They were definitely for the Hospice event. You followed a different coloured arrow depending on what distance you were doing. A team of volunteers went out last weekend and put them up. Judging only by my own neck of the woods this morning, they have already removed them.
It was the first time I had cycled along the Isabel trail. What a brilliant surface. The railway line from Doxey to Derrington was a bit unpleasant on my road bike.
Excellent route apart from a pig of a hill into High Offley and an extremely dodgy shortcut lane into Ranton - I fell off there. We even took in the canal festival at Norbury, thereby uniting two Forum threads in one. Three, actually - I saw the car boot sale from the back.
Please tell me you weren't the rider who exclaimed "I wasn't expecting THAT!" on coming upon myself and my cycling buddy just outside Derrington. It was the "that" which gave us cause for concern. A few minutes later I was in a heap at the side of the road. I certainly hadn't been expecting that.
