Hi,

I’m currently based up at Catterick and am looking to get the bike out on the Moors. I do most of my riding in the Dales at the moment but did one ride from near Osmotherly (Square Corner rings a bell??) a while back.

I have an OS map of the Moors and would like to know any areas to go for or parts to avoid. Are there any “classic” routes around those parts? North east of Moors preferably but will travel for the best riding.

All advice gratefully received.

Chris

Muddy Bums site is a good place to start. Generally I find the Dales better riding in winter than the the NYM as the tracks are more rocky and drain better.
