Horny

If you’re on a gravel bike i would avoid! Miserable

Here's a video to see what the riding is like here https://youtu.be/Nt6WakAi6a4?si=u89na3StRDv08C0w

Cut Gate is a trail that links Slippery Stones and Mickleden Edge via wonderfully-wild moorland. Rough, rocky, rutty and testing even on full suspension, Cut Gate is pure MTB territory. If bike touring or gravel riding, you’ll be pushing and/or carrying for large sections in either direction – and it’s not easy pushing. Don’t let that deter you necessarily, though. Cut Gate and the trail along Mickleden Edge is a great way to link Ladybower with the Trans Pennine Trail without large sections on road. I cycled/pushed/carried the entire section on a rigid bike loaded with bags and thought it was loads of fun (if tough going). Plus, the views are spectacular.

Fun descent. Steep in places, some nice technical chunky rocks / rooty bits. Probably not one for a beginner. Komoot tried to route me down here on a gravel ride, but I would not recommend coming down here on a gravel bike.

A fun blast downhill, not as tricky as the Devil's Elbow next door, but still with some technical spots, especially around the annoying gate half way down (send a friend down ahead of you to open that one up if you're on a tear).

I would only recommend doing this trail with an eMTB and if you are an expert rider.

This segment is full of embedded stones and narrow paths. How narrow? Narrow enough to not fit your pedals. I've crossed some eMTB riders, lots of hikers. You will have to push your bike or have it on your back for many segments. For my taste, I thought this segment was not enjoyable and quite dangerous - but I can see how more expert riders might find it challenging and fun. If you can stomach it, be super prepared, don't be alone and take a first aid kit because you could fall easily.
