The original chap has pulled out due to lack of rear wheel, but there should still be three of us. Main car park at the top of Wharncliffe.

er, Chris and I thought Wharncliffe might be a bit too damp so figured some where else might be better. He suggested the Walkley trails at 10.30...

Pook - Dunno' yet. A consensus will emerge. There's mjb, BadlyWiredDog and me from here, and maybe one or two from BM.

Last week we did: Hope, Roman Road, Hope Cross, Jaggers, up the road to Edale, Hollins Cross, round the back of Mam-Tor, Dirtlow Rake, Pindale and back to Hope.

The week before we did: Hope, Roman Road, Hope Brinks, Forestry track down to Ladybower, across the dam, Whinstone Lee Tor, down to the reservoir, back across the dam and then back to Hope via the lanes.

Basically as far as two or two and a half hours gets us.

having worked up wincobank I'd happily say its on a hill, maybe not as big / steep as anything off Rivelin valley but its still a hill.

DWH - what kind of mileage is that? i fancy it but i'm slow and lazy

Ride up Jenkin Road from Brightside to the top of Wincobank - there are few more comedy steep hills in the city ๐Ÿ™‚

Podge - It's not mileage based. It's just as far as we can do in about two or two and a half hours. Nobody gets left behind ๐Ÿ˜‰

@ tracknicko

It certainly is a hill - there is even a fort on top http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wincobank_(hill_fort)
