Hi,

Place to ride - if your interested - that I've just found:

From Leek get on the Buxton Road (A53). Follow road past houses & school, as you come to a left bend in the road there's a white pub on the right, turn down there, go to bottom and there's a turn on right (1st right) with sign 'alternate route' - follow that. As you get to the top there's a T-juntion. turn left - look up at the top of the hill - there's a farm house on the right with a flag pole. Go there to pay and they'll tell you where to go.

I'd attach two pics, but I don't see that option on the 'post new topic' screen???

i used to ride there its an old mx track last time i went (about three years ago) it was a fiver all day but a lot of 4x4s were goin at the time maybe different now though! im only a few miles from there so if anyone is goin up give me a shout
