Colne Valley Caper

The route I would like to do is a mix of Huddersfield 'urban fringe' taking in some lesser known cycle routes and then a great circular, low level ride around the Colne Valley taking in riverside and canalside routes. Distance 11 miles. However, the Canal & River Trust have not yet come back to me giving permission to use sections of the towpath of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. This is desirable because I, as ride organiser, work for Kirklees Council and we have to do things right! But don't fear! there is another good route we can do which will explore to the east (rather than west) of Huddersfield - distance of about 10 miles, taking in a towpath for which permission to cycle has been in place for years. Hybrid or mountain bikes (no road bikes) - some mud and rough ground.
