Nice shots there. Some cheeky bits thrown in too.
I went out on Sat and only saw 6 other Mtb'ers over the following route. From Rushup Edge over to Hayfield via South Head and Coldwell Clough, up Snake Path, an out and back over Middle Moor, up to Kinder, down Jacobs Ladder, up Chapel Gate (what a waste I shouldn't have been so nosey and ridden Greenlands instead)then down to the end of Rushup Edge. Plenty of ups with cracking downs makes for a great few hrs riding.
I love it when people on an xc ride feel the need to wear body armour!

The guy on the trike in your first picture is based in Preston, he had some form of accident or illness that buggered his legs up so he can only walk with crutches.
He is a friend of the ex's Dad an is a nice chap who loved motorbikes and saved up for this trike for years so he could be out on his own once more.
Good on him I say..
