Is Stanny’s the one that currently has a tree across it near the top – quite slabby and tricky in places? Did a route very similar to the one you’re proposing at the weekend, and it was ace fun. Won’t be about on Thursday though.

Have fun in Hebden, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

It is grum. That tree not been shifted yet? Damn… been there a while. Theres a similar sized one down on a really fast trail at my end of the valley…

Bit of hijack if you don’t mind….

Never been across to Hebden Bridge myself and Ed of Great Rock has intrigued me with his Alp training he does up there so….

Can someone please post a link or send me some GPS routes (between +40k (?)email in profile)

Thanks

Wish Thursday wasn’t my late night at work!

Cheers. Yeah still there on Sunday anyway.

excitable1,
I doubt you’ll get many offers of GPS tracks as all the good stuff is cheeky and invariably descends into a slagging match over what should and shouldn’t be published.
Best way is to get someone to show you around IMHO. There’s no substitute for local knowledge.

Oh, and be aware that distance is no indication of severity around there. They measure routes around Hebden in “smiles”, not “miles”.
We only managed 18 miles a couple of weeks ago, but that was about 6 hours riding and 1500m of climbing.

Would love to join you guys thursday night but I don’t think I’ll be away from work in time thurs to make it for 6pm (coming down from N Yorks)

I’ll be there friday though… Have fun

Whats the weather like tomorrow? I can confirm that the trails there are very dry tonight and quick.

One thing I will say though Peckets changed? Its silted up and smoother.

Rain during the day, clearing through.

I can’t make it now guys.

Enjoy!

Dry last night but didn’t get out of Ragley.

Same with Blue pig- its smoothed over in parts (silt/earth compacted).

Arg, still sweating off a tediously low-level but persistent cold that I want rid of for the weekend otherwise was going to join you for this (assuming you’d have let me follow you around…)

Have fun though, doesn’t look to have been raining too heavily and the moors were riding lovely and fast on Tuesday.

Sitting at the Stubbing now, having a Pre feed, with the local hills scaring a southern Jessie like me!

Weather cleared through nicely, and looking good! Thinking my 456C would have been better for the climbs than my lump of Heckler!

On my way now… Look out for a idiot rolling down the hillside…

What time’s kick off. I have a cold too, but was going to come out if I could get back. I’m on way back from Sheffield though.

Sorry Brant – it was 1800 left car park at 1805!! Great ride – Thanks muchly to Dale and Mike!! A proper Yorkshire Welcome!!!
