  • South Buxton circuit from White Peak Mountain Biking
  • Route 15

    Absolutely cracking little route in a much underused area of the Peak

    Especially the Tenterhill and Hollingsclough rocky descents, if you struggle getting down The Beast don’t bother

    A bit short and maybe just a bit too much road but a nice couple of hours with frozen ground

    Is White Peak Mountain Biking a shop? Is this a route that you purchased from them or a shop ride that you have done? Would be interested.

    Its a guide book

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Peak-Mountain-Biking-Trails/dp/0954813146

    Covers a lot more than what I tend to think of as the White Peak as well, has routes from Manifold all the way to Ladybower

    I tried combining the hollinsclough/tenterhill end of that ride with stuff around 3 shire heads/coldwell clough. A bit of a hill and tarmac to link the two but I enjoyed it it all. Finishing coming down into the centre of hollinsclough was great:

    Everyone goes into the ‘dark Peak for their rock fix, but some of the stuff around there ^^ is tough. That picture doesn’t do it justice 🙂

    tried some stuff up hollinsclough, but dont know if i missed the best stuff, or climbed it instead of descending?
