From Wortley we head uphill towards Thurgoland, joining the TPT to Millhouse Green halfway up. We then leave the trail to join quiet roads with lovely views, climbing steadily before enjoying a swooping descent down to the award winning Bank View cafe for refreshments. From here we cross over to Langsett dam wall, taking pretty lanes to Midhope, then climbing up the back of Underbank. Halfway up this climb we turn left and descend to cross Underbank dam wall to Manchester Road. From here we cross over to the other side of the valley again and join the little known pretty cinder trail to Fox Valley. At the far side of Fox Valley we then join a recently developed trail through woodland and over a bridge over the river, to bring us out at the far side of Deepcar to rejoin the roads back to our starting point.

We will use a mixture of paved trail and quiet lanes

We will enjoy a cafe stop at the award winning Bank View Cafe Langsett

Please wrap up warmly in layers, wear a helmet and gloves, bring along the means to repair a puncture, and cash for the cafe stop.

We especially welcome newbies!
