    where do you live
    the saville is my local

    if you did do that route in the order that you took those pictures then you did do it backwards

    especially if you did the route down the second part of the downhill

    Just behind the train station in Dews. Its classy you know! :oops:

    So you are in Dewsbury too - Whereabouts do you get to on your bike?

    ahhh i live in thornhill, just down the road from the saville, i try to get out every week from home and have worked quite a good loop
    we tend to ride from 6:30 to about 9 then have a pint...
    rides are about 10-14 miles and we try and cram the best terrain in we can

    you should give me a shout and we'll go for a blast

    ok
    that route (the one you are doing the wrong way round )

    how i would make that work is....

    i guess you ride through marsden to the B6107 up that road untill you see a bridleway on your right

    follow that bridleway up
    and up
    and up
    then when you get to the trail you were on that leads to blackmooorfoot resi
    turn left towards the resi
    now you will go past the house below the shooting range then round the resi
    the resi has 3 sides you can ride around
    go round 2 then drop off the side down the steep embankment (woo hoo)

    once you have gone over the embankment go in a straight line up to the wall and over the style

    straight line down the track (cow $h1t city....) and through the gate over the track and through the gate

    follow this track (it bears to the right then down to a gate)
    through the gate and right
    follow the path to the stream (splash!!!!!)
    through the stream and up the other side

    follow to 2 gates one in front and one to your right
    take the right gate and start climbing (you'll be doing a lot of this for a bit so enjoy)

    follow to the road
    at road turn right follow the road UP past the cockgrowing stone (yes really)
    at the top carry on downhill untill you see the obvious track to the right

    enjoy the longest downhill in west yorkshire :wink:

    at the bottom of the hill have a pint

    see you wednesday night

    Sounds like a good route. Is there any chance you could post the direct MapMYRide link to this please. I've done a search on it but can't find it :cry:
