It’s a steep hill down to the Manifold Way and at the end of our path it was a continuous steep road clim to the last half mile into Wetton. Not the easiest ride but worth it to say we’ve done it! 😊

High above the manifold trail, Thor's cave is an ancient settlement. Location of the bizarre Ken Russell film "Lair of the White Worm" too
