Hebden Bridge Mankinholes Calderbrook Blackstone Edge Mytholmroyd
A 22 mile loop from Hebden Bridge taking in Blackstone Edge from the Littleborough side. I've put in 3 diversions from the main valley roads. If you avoid them and stick to the A- roads, the loop is near enough 20 miles and a good test to try and do in an hour! (My best so far is 1 hr 9 mins). I like the diversions up through Mankinholes, Calderbrook and the Old Blackstone Edge Road. Watch out for road closed signs and a damaged road surface on the Calderbrook road. The road has slipped and is closed to motor vehicles but I've always been able to get through on my bike. Take care, especially if you do the loop in the opposite direction - the road surface drops away suddenly!by ColinJ
