Got a full day looming in a few weeks and want a big ride that is better/different to a full day int dark peak.

Mary Townley loop sounds ok, whats it like?

Any other suggestions - max 1hr drive from the Peak

better than the peak only an hour away? Think you'll struggle! You could get to bits of the Yorkshire dales in a bit over an hour at less busy times. Or north wales, near the border.

Here's another question, where is better than the Peak independent of distance ?

@rob - I think you'll need to be specific about what type of riding you want, the Peak is fabulous. Wharncliffe Woods ?

Just want somewhere different, lots of ups and downs, rocks, fun, fast

dales is all there is really - maybe ride ilkley moor stuff and then do stainburn, or dalby with an extension over the north York moors.
