Assuming you have ridden from Howdens reservoir, you have already climbed (or pushed) up this rather steep and rocky section with a couple of hairpin bends thrown into the mix.

Coming down it is crazy. Avoid the temping paths that go straight on at the top and turn left. When it gets really crazy there is another option to go straight on but again turn left and drop off a big rock into the last couple of bends. Sweet!

Starts off fast and flowy, gets steep, loose and rocky towards the end with some reasonable size drops at the last bit of Cranberry Clough just before Slippery Stones
