Really good for mountain biking I imagine? Just interested to know what you’re comparing Hebden to to call it a ‘pretty shitty place’.
I really don’t get all the hate for it TBH – I guess it’s a reaction to the media hype. I can’t think of many places in the UK I’d rather live. Sorry you’ve taken my pitty comments, coupled with a winking smiley, to heart Grum. Like i said, I’ve only seen the outskirts whilst waiting for a coachload of Scouts to finish a weekend hillwalking / navigating competition.
There’s bugger all decent riding round these parts, you’re right- so my riding has been limited to trips to the Peak, North Wales, Brecon Beacons, North Yorkshire, the Lakes, Shropshire, Europe… Thou since having a kid all my riding the last two years has been on the road bike 🙁 Hang on, I tell a lie, I towed our 16 month old daughter around Grafham Water in the snow and ice last Febuary 😀
Next time I’m planning a trip up that way I might just explore the town more. In fact we did think about watching the tour there as we’ll be coming home from a week in the lakes, but it looks like Masham will work better logistically.
Cheers,
Jamie
