Brutally cold on't moors toneet lads!
San Marino is Ace.. its in great condition for bikers... getting pretty technical, almost getting back to its old self before it was resurfaced years ago.
Has there been much more snow up there? Fancy a ride tommorrow.
Looks like it's had a small amount from here (Coppull). You don't have to go to the top bit's if it's a bit thick up there, plenty to ride lower down.
Andituk,
Quite nice and crispy up there last night:
Barn>Pike>Wilders Moor>Mast>Smithills Moor>Two Lads>Dog kennels>Gardens
Met a couple of other loonies up by the mast too.
Bolton MRT were up there too pratting around with out-of-life distress flares.
Not really any problem with the amount of snow that's on the ground, still plenty grippy enough and nice and fast rolling 'cos it's frozen solid underneath.
Have fun.
Ecky - That was us. Coming Up Coal Pit ? met you on where the path joins the mast road ? Was a touch chilly!

Nice pic lowey - I'm hoping for a huge dump of snow so I can I have a play on sunday - night ride would be good too.........are you reading Johnnie?
Last night round Healy Nabb was superb, better than Tuesday night. An extra layer of snow made it even grippier for some reason. Got a month of work now so will be friking nailing Rivvy and the area alot as i only live 500 metres away. Look out for the Santa Cruz Blur, all black and stealthy with a full lycra clad rider, no armour of 85 litre ruck sac.
Say hello. 😀

Nods to Lowey. Pleased to meet you.
We reversed your tracks down Smithills Moor to the steps, then turned left and went exploring off-piste before crossing what were presumably your tracks on the road near Smithills Dean.
Nods back at Ecky.
There's a good run down to Coal Pit Road after you hit the lake on that left turn. Good in the dry anyway.
