Found this website that details a lot of the old quarries in rossendale mostly on the same moorland as Lee and Cragg. Looks like some good XC riding.

    Did the link today from Lee to cragg it would of been a great ride if it wasn't for the shoddy weather, at one point I could only see about 40yds, even the sheep were looking at me with a look of amazement, got to cragg but then decided to abandon the ride it was just to bad. Hope to get it all in next time, the ride back down to Lee was great though very fast flowing there has been some good work done up there.

    eays now fellow rangers! the bike works pretty much now, think i may have sorted my pedal-bob a bit too. although a really bent my seat post the other week at gizzy so im usind a cropped one. In otherwords my seat is in the lowest position and is stayin there lol. so its really not suitable for riding up hills atall :)

    i fancy nailing that berm-jump after the table tops on way back to carpark.

    i think i may get there a bit earlier too. cos it will take me moons to get up the first hill hehehe!

    i woke up late, arrived late but got away injury free... although i did censored it a bit when i landed front wheel first on the table tops lol. hopefully i'll have the balls to carry more speed through second table top into berm some time soon :D

    i deffo need a hard tail again, pump tracks are way cool on hard tail, can really get some speed up! hard on FS, may even grab a bmx for some pump track larking :D
