| WMB 112 The Dark Peak Easy | ocoutts | Aug 24th 2010, 01:42 | 13.5km |
|
|
| Start/Finish: Ashopton Bridge. OS reference SK191864 Total distance: 13.7km/8.5miles Time: 1-2 hours. Maps: Ordnance Survey OL1: Dark Peak area Summary: The rocky descent to Hagg Farm is the technical highlight here; the rest of the ride is either grassy trail or woodland singletrack. Take the Fairholmes road. Turn left onto the access road signed Crook Hill Farm/ B&B. Climb steeply, bearing right through the gate beside the farm buildings to open pasture. Follow the grassy track, which is vague at times; there are signposts but you’re aiming for the gate at the top of the hill. Continue straight alongthe ridge, passing through several more gates until you come to a gate and stile at a crossroads with Lockerbrook and Rowlee Farm tracks. Bear left through the gate and descend to Hagg Farm on steep, rocky doubletrack, passing through yet more gates. Cross the A57, descend on cinder track and cross the river via the bridge before bearing left. The track climbs briefl y before bearing sharp right to continue to Hope Cross. Instead of following this, pass through the gate on left and return to the riverside track before bearing right up the steep, rough access track. Climb steeply, sticking with this path as other footpaths deviate to the left and right. Crest the rise and continue going straight to begin a gradual descent back to the riverside track. The path narrows, has steeper sections and a couple of small stream crossings, but is generally easy. At the exit to the main track beside the reservoir, turn right and continue to the dam. Cross it then bear left along the mixed-use path to return to Ashopton Bridge. | |||||
| WMB 112 The Dark Peak Moderate | ocoutts | Aug 24th 2010, 01:54 | 38.7km |
|
|
| Start/Finish: Hope, OS grid reference SK171835 Total distance: 38.8km/24 miles Time: 3-6 hours Maps: Ordnance Survey OL1: Dark Peak area Summary: Relentless ups and downs make this no small feat, but what it demands in effort, it pays back in fun. Take the Edale road and turn right onto a dead-end track just after crossing the river. Bear left through the gate and climb the Roman road to Hope Cross. Continue straight ahead, following the rolling singletrack and rough descent to the junction. Bear right to drop to the A57, cross the road to Rowlee Farm and climb the Tarmac zigzags. At the Hagg Farm junction, turn right through the gate and descend to the A57. Cross the road, descend and bear left along the riverside track, passing through the gate on the left after a short climb. Bear right uphill onto a permissive bridleway, through woodland then down to the lake shore. Bear right, pass the dam on left and continue south on Thornhill Trail (disused railway). Bear right on the road to Aston. In the hamlet, take the minor track right then climb past the houses, bearing left onto a walled lane. Continue along the track, through gates to the top of the hill. Bear left and continue to Hope Cross, dropping to the Roman road. At the crossroads, take Jaggers Clough track to left and descend. Cross the river, climb and descend to Nether Booth. Bear right on the road, under the bridge, take the next minor track left, which becomes bridleway and climb to Hollins Cross. Bear right and follow the signed bridleway along the ridge slabs and singletrack to the road. Bear left and left again on Tarmac to a gated track on right. Follow this track, bear left at the T-junction. Cavedale is on the left (Limestone Way). For Pindale, go down Dirtlow Rake, join some Tarmac briefly before turning sharp right onto Pindale track. Descend to the valley, turning right onto a minor road at end and continuing to Hope. | |||||
