Is there a cyclepath along the bridge on the A57 just here: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=419290&y=386435&z=120&sv=419290,386435&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=700&ax=419290&ay=386435&lm=0

or are cyclists coming from the Cutthroat bridge bridleway (east) expected to cross the road then cross it again to the road leading to the visitor centre?

Thanks.

There's a cyclepath (actually a shared use foot/cycle path) along quite a substantial section of that road and the bit down to the dam. Mind the moaning pedestrians though of which there are always loads.

you don't need to go on the road at all - you can take the cycle path along the east shore of the lake to the VC...

There is nothing from Cuthroat Bridge to the Bamford road though

apart from the bridleway ?

On the Hope Circuit you have to cross Woodhead TWICE! I remember seeing walkers etc crossing the bridleway as well, the second crossing is by a bend.....eek! 😯

As SFB says you just turn right at the bottom of the flagstones descent off winstone lee tor and follow the hardcore/tarmac track to the visitors centre. It's a nice traffic free spin.

Penguinious,
Hope and Woodhead pass are quite a distance apart, do you mean the snake pass?

Hora, I though that would have been a big loop!!

how come your username has changed? I copied and pasted "Penguinious" as the username from your post when I replied to your post, as I couldn't be arsed typing it. How do you get different usernames for the same posts?
