Has anyone ridden this trail?

Is marked as a non-designated right of way which seems to be a grey area, but I have found one online bike route that uses it. Just wondered if anyone else had?

Or is the farmer at the bottom going to shoot me?

looks ok to me mate, this is the view from the road it comes down to. Seems fair game. What's your full route? this is just up the road from me.

We'll be approaching the track from the Calton end.

Bit of an old school XC route exploring the SW of the white peak.

Starting at Harborough rocks, then Tissington, Thorpe, Blore, over the track above, manifold valley, Alstonefield, Biggin then back to Harborough.

Dont know a few of the trails, so fingers crossed its not too muddy

Something similar to this, but with a few tweaks around Biggin dale to take in some steep bits I've noticed ๐Ÿ˜€

Did you look through the other routes on there? 'T'Owd Man's Revenge' seems to have a bit more elvation and says this in the descrition.

It combines more than its fair share of climbing with some steep, technical downhilling. Sustained effort required. Not one for the faint hearted and check your brakes before setting off!

sounds like a win

Yeah I've ridden most of that stuff before. Gets very wet around Grangemill this time of year. Some great trails from Bonsall down into Cromford though.
