Longdendale Advice for Tomorrow!

Ok so as some of you may already know I have now been cycling again for just over a month or so and steadily notching up the mileage and getting (slightly) more confident. Tomorrow (Sunday 7th Feb) I am going to do my first "serious" ride, so I am off upto the local trail which is the Longdendale Trail from Hadfield up to Woodhead tunnel...
What I wanted to do was just follow the trail from Hadfield onwards, but then on the way back venture a little off the beaten path (I believe there are some good routes coming back as I have seen on the web) but also remembering I am a beginner and this will be the first time taking the bike off-road proper. Any tips/routes/places you can suggest? Also I know I am probably going to sh*t myself first time round going over gnarly terrain, so what are good confidence boosters to get you over "the fear" and just go for it? I ride a Kona Blast Deluxe 08.
