Looking for new routes and places to ride around the above areas. Any links to routes/rough guidance would be great.Looking for a mix of bridalway/cheeky xc with any cheeky tech that may be in the area. Cheers in advance!
You need to find the sweary northerners!
I can send you a GPX of a ride I did with djen83 (Dave) off here - had a bit of all sorts in it, nice ride.
Dave knows his way round Marsden and surrounding areas, drop him a mail.

The only riding I know around there is the route around Digley Reservoir and a couple of routes in Benji Haworth's book that take in Marsden. It'd be good to know if there is more riding round there as my Dad lives that way on.

This is a useful post for me too as I'm in Kirkburton!
Hopefully this is a link to download the GPX file:

Pretty sure they are from round Huddersfield way.
wilde - I'm Brighouse based if you fancy a ride somewhere different. Ride every Monday night at 7.
Here's the Google Earth (KML) of that GPX file, at least you can get an idea of where the route goes.

Aaah yea, seen their videos. I recognise alot of the trails from their videos from riding around hebden, but they do seem to have a hell of alot of local knowledge! Quite envious of their riding too!
Cheers woody, sounds good to me. Will drop you an email. Cheers!
+1 for the Sweary Northerners.
