    Tips

    August 1, 2019

    Route of the Pennine Cycleway that actually consists of the old main road (now well broken down and replaced by the new main road) and what appears to be a farm track.

    A bit of a surprise when following NCN68 (the Pennine Cycleway) and not suitable for expensive road bikes!

    The westernmost portion is a steep drop down to the main road and is very loose with steep drop off to the side - consider seriously to walk down if not equipped with a mountain bike.

    Nice and remote with lots of moorland bird life - I spotted lapwings and a pair of curlew.

      Rode this track with gravel bike. Had to push bike on several parts due to steps and very uneven ground

        February 21, 2020

        I "rode" this track with a quite loaded but balanced tour-bike. It was ok to carry it down the stairs. The way down there is maybe a lot nicer and safer than going down that main-road. You can cross that main road on the bottom of the stairs and the track continues very nice and flat. Good terrain for tour- or gravel-bikes.
