Car Park near Hirst Lock, Hirst Lane, Shipley.

Meeting at the Hirst Lock Car Park avoids the congested roads of Saltaire These towpath rides are tailored to suit whoever turns up and can be anything from a very gentle ride to a local tea room or a visit to Kirkstall Abbey, Hollybush Farm or even into Leeds Granary Wharf or Silsden. Due to the uncertainty of Towpath access during its upgrade between Kirkstall and Shipley, destinations could be changed at the last minute. I aim to cover in the region of 15 miles at an easy pace, but this can be shortened or lengthened if needs be. No one gets left behind! We are out to enjoy ourselves. I would advise that you bring a drink and a snack for top ups along the way, also some money for refreshments when we stop. Newcomers to Breeze rides are very welcome. Dress appropriately for the weather: several thin layers are best and a rain jacket could come in handy. Wearing a helmet is advisable, though not essential. The towpath can get very muddy after rain, so please bear this in mind when choosing what to wear for the ride My number on the day is :- 07940 975 971 I look forward to you joining us.
