There's 3 DH runs in grenoside, but only one open at the moment I believe?
They are all only a few mins from the carpark (over the road).

Wharncliffe stuff can be a little harder to find, theres some newer stuff in the far corner and some of the older runs come off the fireroads on the way back to the carpark from there.

Here's a ride I did at greno and the newer bits at wharncliffe.

If you look on strava explore, most of the runs have a segment so you can find them on there ๐Ÿ™‚

Steel City is in Grenoside not Whatncliffe - over the road, follow the track round then left at the crossroads and you'll come across the tabletop at the top. Might even be signposted. Don't ride it 'til it's open though! Keep heading along the same track and you'll come to the top of DH3 - I think that *might* be open at the moment. Pub Run goes from the crossroads.

Wharncliffe is trickier - iirc take the fire road from the car park and keep turning right till you see the top of some DHs, but that could be wrong.

Pub Run and Steelcity are now closed, DH3 was open on Sunday.

In Wharncliffe, from the car park just follow the firepaths and look for signs of tracks heading downhill.

(EDIT: there's a red marked run straight sfter the car park in Wharncliffe, but it gets a bit vague after a few sections)
