    I work in central Leeds and have to get to a stag weekend in Hathersage. I fancy riding there.

    I’m happy with the southern end of the route – Strines or Snake – but does anyone know of any vaguely enjoyable, non-life threatening routes out of Leeds, probably towards Hud, on a road or cross bike?

    thanks

    Sustrans Route 67 goes from Leeds to Sheff (and beyond) – worth a look?

    minor roads from leeds to horbury bridge at wakefield, or i know a nice offroad route from hunslet.
    then follow the calder/derwnet walk which takes you offroad to the ladybower pub.
    it is cheeky but it is nice. 30 miles from horbury bridge to the ladybower.

    Thanks for these. The Sustrans looks promising but a bit convoluted! I might use bits of it.

    Thanks Ton. 30 cheeky miles?! I don’t really do cheeky tbh but will have a look at the map.

    if you’re thinking Strines to Snake already a half decent route to the top end of Stocksbridge is:

    Osset, Horbury Bridge, Netherton, High Hoyland, Silkstone, Silkstone Common, Oxspring (or Thurgoland/Deepcar)

    ridden this way from Leeds a few times, far from flat though 😈
