ideas for longest uninterrupted decent in Yorkshire

bluechair84

Can anyone help me find the longest interesting off-road decent in Yorkshire? The longest I ride is 1.59miles long falling 647feet (thanks to bikehike.co.uk for working that one). That's Standedge near Mardsden in Huddersfield. Any takers for a bigger, longer decent? Where do you go?

Get to the Yorkshire Dales, there's a few round Kettlewell that drop 1000ft in about a mile.

Will let you know how good it is as we're doing it Sunday but the descent off Great Wold(Yorkshire Dales) into Dent is 6km long and drops 350m/1148ft,it's described as a 6km rock-garden 8)
It's on the Ribblehead/Dent/Great Knoutberry Fell route.

that's a nice decent by the sounds of it... Can't find those places on oogle maps yet, I'll have a closer look later and try to find it

Dent is a little village on the Border of the Dales and Cumbria.Look for Junc 37 of the M6,just to the east is Sedbergh,the just SE is Dent.Great wold is on the Northern flank of Whernside Fell.
