This is a pay and display car park and there are public toilets, a cafe and a small sandwich shop very close by.
Not entirely sure on parking charge, but the DCC website lists £5.50 for all day parking, so best to be prepared.
:: Terrain: Typical Peak District tracks, unsealed roads and trails. Rocky, sandy gritstone. Will also incorporate some newly built man made forest singletrack.
:: Route: An all weather route which heads north from Baslow linking the fantastic trails along Baslow Edge, Froggatt Edge, the Longshaw Estate to Houndkirk Road. We'll then take in the newly opened crowd funded trail at Lady Cannings Plantation before a pub stop at the Norfolk Arms in Ringinglow.
The return leg retraces Houndkirk before crossing Totley Moor and over to Big Moor and Barbrook Reservoir. Then we'll cross Ramsely Moor and then pass Wellington's Monument at the top of Baslow Edge, before the final descent.
Many of these have recently been opened to mountain bikes and help form a brilliant circular route.
The pacing will be reasonably gentle and we'll fit in at least one cafe/pub stop. Everyone from all areas is welcome, preferably riding retro of course.
