Tips from the Community
Rode it today (08052025) thinking it would be the same, but the weather over the winter has washed all the concrete/cement/sand away and it’s a lot more sketchy than it used to be.

Rode this week (15/11/24) and it's been totally sanitised all the way down. Looks like they've poured concrete / cement mixed with sand. Still fun-ish to go down but no longer a challenge

Was there a week ago and the bottom half of the trail has been ruined by the weather and hooligan trail builders. i would give it a miss.

Why would I recommend this highlight? It's a rite of passage for MTB riders in the area, it is a proper adrenalin infused decent.

This section of braided singletrack is a highlight of the area. It's fun ridden in either direction, but most people prefer to ride it west to east - not least because it's gently descending. It's one to be wary of though - although there's not much highly technical riding at low speeds, the trail encourages higher velocities, and can then lead you down dead ends or gullies with 'entertaining' rock features when taken at speed.

This is a fun little slice of singletrack in either direction - although it can get boggy in winter. Yorkshire grit in winter is very, very good at wearing out brake pads, drivetrains and pretty much anything else that moves. The field to one side serve as a model aircraft runway; when the weather's good you can occasionally hear them buzzing overhead.

If you're feeling spectacularly energetic, just west of the dam here there are some swoopy mountain bike trails. They're not long - just over a mile, but they can provide some welcome entertainment. Although there's a carpark at the other end of them, there are no facilities, so bring plenty of food and water. As an aside, though, the trails are also excellent for younger kids to earn their mountain biking stripes on.

A long, swoopy, fast and (especially when it's been raining heavily) rocky, gullied descent. At the time of writing the top is pretty washed out and technical - it's fine if you take it easy, though. The trail is also notable for the sting in the tail - if the weather is anything less than utterly bone dry the bottom of the trail is actually a stream. When the weather's bad (especially in mid-winter) you can be guaranteed to get wet feet!
