Edale, up Chapel Gate, Roych Clough, Coldwell Clough, Shooting Cabin, Lantern Pike, Chinley Churn, Peep O Day, Coldwell Clough again, Jacobs Ladder, back to Edale.

That's got a few technical bits....

@snowslave: that's a 3 day ride for Hora

@HOra: buy the v-graphics dark peak book or search for "hope figure of 8" on the t'interweb and work it out from there

I'll show you on a map. It's pretty easy from a navigational perspective.

You can split that into 2 or even 3 rides no probs, depending on how far/fast you want to ride

loads more routes to choose from, as said above get a book and/or a map - I live close, just don't be seduced by the obvious routes, there are some real gems if you study the OS map.

Thanks guys ๐Ÿ™‚

snowslave, spoke to another lad and he said rider that the other way round?

Start at hayfield, do roych clough, rushup edge, round mam tor to hollins cross, head down towards nether clough, turn left to edale, up jacobs ladder, down halfway and do a right on bridleway round broad clough and then down to kinder reservoir, up white brow to the shooting cabins and back to hayfield or if want more then do lantern pike to birch vale, up to hills farm, peep o day and finish off with coldwell clough and the bridleway running to the south of river running into hayfield.

Either works, and will be a big ride out
