All the routes are completely new.
We have a new café which is halfway for all riders.

Some info about Treetops.......
Treetops Hospice is the leading end of life care charity for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
They provide nursing care and emotional support for adults with life-limiting conditions, those who’ve been bereaved, and their families. Their services are available free of charge, from diagnosis onwards.
They offer end of life nursing in patients’ own homes, counselling for grieving children and adults, personalised wellbeing support and confidential advice.
It costs £5.3 million a year to keep Treetops going and we need to raise over 80% of cost
