Great flowing gravel tack, speedy downhill, and a nice climb with stunning scenery after much tree chopping. The impossible hairpin is fine in a nice, easy gear.

Nice steady fire track climb. If you fancy a challenge try one of the single track climbs, for a more direct route to Staple Edge ....enjoy. There is a climb following the distant treeline in picture 👍
