Its wet, there has been some maintenance over the winter but it’s still wet and muddy, There’s no where else near i can think of that will be any dryer so if you go with the intention of getting shoited up i dont think you will be dissapointed,
Its not Just the wet, boggy suff either, theres a load of grit, sand pebble, Left over from the Ice Age that destroys your chain. But so does the Peaks, And Dalby etc etc, It’s Winter.
Wharncliffe isn’t that far away, Peaks Not too far, BUT Completely different, Pines is as flat as a Pancake and the other two aren’t.
Clumber Park has a Loop of sorts, It’s quite a nice loop if your planning on going round with Kids, Family.
If you are Going Alone then Pines can be Fun if done at a good pace and if you do two laps,
