Musbury To Nuttall Weekday Ramble

A varied but almost entirely traffic-free ride to Nuttall Park in Ramsbottom! With National Cycle Route 6 expanding, we can now get from Helmshore to Ramsbottom with only one short section to walk (Snig Holes to Irwell) and a tiny bit of main road (at Stubbins). The rest follows bridleways and tracks! Parts can be muddy and there is a short section we need to push our bikes. Please have a look at Breeze Rossendale's flikr album here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/understone/sets/72157634173795108/ - the photos show the terrain (NOTE this route will NOT be going over Holcombe Moor! We get to photo marked "The road after Nuttall Park" and turn back.) You can view the route here: http://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_3274423.html but again we go as far as mile marker 4, and turn back. This is a gentle ride suitable for all. You can buy icecream and use the loos when we get to Nuttall Park. Full-on carbon road bikes will struggle but any hybrid, mountain bike or city bike will be fine. We go at the pace of the slowest rider and aim to have fun! Please bring an inner tube suitable for your bike. Email [email protected] if you have any queries.
