We liked it so much we decided to do it again...
Starting at Go Ape, we will head up through Rivington gardens, across to Belmont and beyond, where we will pick up the Witton Weavers Way towards Roddlesworth.
We will have a refreshment stop at either, the Hare & Hounds in Abbey Village, or the Ramblers Cafe, we can decide on the day.
Our way back will be along the Goit via White Coppice and then past Healey Nab.
We will be riding mostly off road trails with a few short sections of connecting roads. This is not a technical route but there are a few notable climbs, making this route a bit more challenging so a good level of fitness is required.

Mostly off road trails with a few short sections of connecting roads.

Refreshment stop will be about half way

All riders must wear a helmet – no helmet, no ride. Please make sure you bring a spare innertube, mech hanger and other equipment that you might need for your own bike for any trailside repairs. Please be self sufficient with plenty of fluids, snacks and a waterproof as we will be out for a while.

We never leave anyone behind
