Threaphurst Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Really nice lane. I descended it from the Buxton Road side but it's probably a nicer ride going the other way. Quiet and well surfaced but beware of large trucks.

Eccles Road Climb and View of Combs Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Lovely, long, steady climb with gorgeous views all the way up. Nice and quiet too, with just the odd car or walker. Once you reach the top, look left for views over Combs and Combs Reservoir.

View of Rushup Edge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Without doubt one of the best views around for miles. If you have arrived there from climbing up Mam Nick it makes it all the more rewarding.

Winnats Pass

Highlight • Gorge

No.33 of the top 100 official climbs. A 1.8km climb with an ave gradient of 11.4% and a max of 18.3%. Worth it though as once you have made it up onto the ridgeline the views are awesome!

Edale Road

Highlight • Cycleway

There's a long way from the Edale sign until you reach Edale village. And it's almost all false flat up. Draggy.

Tip by

Mam Nick descent

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Almost as scary as going up.

Tip by

78.3 km

Middlewood Road Level Crossing

Highlight • Rest Area

Light and barrier controlled level crossing where Middlewood Road crosses over the railway. Always follow the barriers and direction, don't jump the lights.
