I think it suits the fubar’d trail conditions and xc nature of the riding toxicsoks 😉
Bit of a thread hijack but just thinking about alternatives and extra sections to my current local loop. Being relatively new to Leeds and sticking to what I know and not exploring.
Rather than the slop that is the route via the fields from Emmerdale to Eccup I’m considering riding the road section to take me to the junction King Lane/Eccup Lane (rather than popping out at the side of the farm and onto Eccup Moor Road.
Can you do a lap of Golden Acre? Is it accessible from there. Is it worth it?
After Adel jumps I cross the road into the woods. I normally go right near the picnic tables and work my way through here. Although this is seriosuly sloppy and is damaged by dog walkers, horse riders and riders alike. So instead of turning right at the picnic tables what’s straight on?
Just trying to see if there is a more structured bridleway/paths through these woods to piece together a more winter friendly route.
