we heading up to lee quarry early sat morning from south and wanna hit gisburn on the sunday maybe,then a couple are going up to scotland and 3 of us wanna make are way back but get some riding in to on the monday.
any ideas of what order to to do it in and where else could we ride
that sounds like a good order of things you got there and not a bad weekend trip. where you coming from? linked to lee quarry is crag quarry which is on much higher ground with a link path between them both.

Dunno what kind of riding you are into but you could do Lee Quarry and Gisburn in a day, then do something natural in the Lakes on the way to Scotland. The 7 Stanes near Dumfries are the nearest thing to ride in Scotland I think.
Bring some midge repellent, even for Gisburn.
We were climbing at Laddow (Lancashire/Derbyshire border) last Sunday
and we got well & truly massacred.
Tebay services on the M6 is well worth a visit for genuinely good food btw.
Have a look on www.pmba.org.uk in the where to ride section, you can dowmload maps / leaflets for both Gisburn and Lee & Cragg Quarries.
thanks guys,we coming down from london way we all fairly fit riders but will have our play bikes and heads on so will session a few sections.
didnt know if there is any where before lee quarry to ride to break the drive up,we looing for techy ,fun action we all capable of doing some miles
Cannock is sort of on the way isn't it? Never ridden there though.
Lock, pop into Blazing Saddles in Hebden and Ride On in Rawtenstall whilst you're visiting Lee/Cragg.
Lovely people, they will point you in the direction of all the local gnarr.
You could always knock on the door of the Singletrack lot in Todmorden as well.
They're very friendly and the coffee is excellent!

sunday do lee q and gisburn stay round there
