Bolton Breeze

This route is a perfect way to explore Longsight Park and Seven Acres. The route stays mostly on bridleways so can get a bit bumpy, don't be put off if it rains as this is a great ride for putting on the waterproofs and having a splash in some puddles. Starting at Morrisons (car park point A)in Harwood we will cross the road and then head out along the tracks and trails of the Bradshaw valley through Longsight Park and across into Seven Acres local nature reserve. We will then take the same route back to the cafe at Morrisons. There are a couple of hills in this ride which we will take at a gentle pace, walking if necessary, I'm always very grateful if someone gets off to walk! The total length of the ride is around 5 miles and the path is suitable for mountain bikes with sturdy tyres. Wearing a helmet is advisable, though not essential. If you have a spare inner tube great please bring one along but not to worry if you don't. It's always good to take a few layers to cope with our British weather and a waterproof is always advisable.
