Hi I'm planning a ride around rivington/winter hill and would like to do the San Marino decent can anyone point me in the right direction. I can get to the masts but I'm new to the area and have no idea where to look for the fabled Marino
carry on past the mast away from rivington
about 200m on your right - through gate and thats the start
good luck
Its a footpath you know? So would be very, very naughty indeed to ride down it! 😉
when you thinking of going?
go past the mast on the road and as the tarmac road veers left there is a double track to a gate that is San Marino
Place you're £10 land permit fee under the stile on the left hand side please, We'll be along later to collect. Ta
Have you filled out your forms in triplicate to Lord Lowe? He gets trigger happy with the blunderbuss otherwise, as all weekend he's off his head on opium
if there are men roaming in the trees at the bottom, what ever you do don't go to investigate 😯
he's off his head on opium
Odd name for a real ale from a micro brewery
Distinct lack of applications recently. The hounds will be released!
Haha thanks for the replies will be going tonight about 8ish will watch out for blunderbuss carrying opium lords
I'll be out riding around there tonight, might see you!
Watch out for militant fell runners around Rivi, who seem to be getting quite, err, militant about MTBers on footpaths, especially following UU's decision regarding events...

At 8pm we may well be chasing you down it on the way to the pub!
Enjoy... its riding ace at the moment.

Managed to find it and was having a great time until I managed to go over the bars and land on my head ouch. Helmet definatly saved my bacon and is looking a little roughed up but what a great little descent. Are there any more like that around rivington/winter hill? Also feel a lot better about my carbon bike now I know it can take a hit or two
theres the line to the left form where you start San Marino
ice cream run obviously
I like the garden run too
