I've walked round anglezarke before and seen plenty of bikers going through the woods. I'm sure it'll link up to healey nab. If so, would add a few extra km's of routy track up to there. Gives a few options for parking then too.

its about that yeah, well from where i parked. I think there are other closer carparks, but im not sure where they are

would love to, but im at Deggy on Sat and the Mrs wont let me do two days on the trot

there is no actual car park for the nab... the best is park at anglzark or park at the barn at rivington and ride to the nab.... there an little loop you can do that take in the nab.....

dont expect anything amazing at healy nab you may be dissapointed...

if i can i will try get a map for you.

i cant seem to get one off of the internet i will try my memory map software for you.

i thought it was ok, but yeah it is a bit short

watch out for the rock garden (you'll know the one i mean)

Cheers guys, the idea is to go and session the black route so shorts ok, we session the hope line at gizzy and session the black at lee so were used to it being short, just trying to improve our jumping and flow techniques.

if you do park here follow the arrows on the map turn right just before yewtree pub follow lane a few mile then turn right it look like your going to the stables/riding school but there is a bridle way to the left just before it, follow this to the woods you can see at top of hill this is healy nab....
