Off up that way in a few weeks to look after my sisters brats. Anybody fancy taking me out to show me the local riding on the Saturday morning, or subsequently giving me a bit of cheeky local knowledge trails wise. She lives just outside of the main town near the spar shop on the road that leaves to Huddersfield I think.

What Woody doesn't know about the local stuff ain't worth knowing, he's your man.
Shame I'm at Bike Park Wales or I could have shown you all my secret stuff...

Like most local area's, all the best stuff is hard to find.

Any chance I could have the GPX files too please woody? 🙂 Only know the stuff around Hebden really.

I'm up for showing people round Hebden too if anyone fancies a trade? Mugboo do you have time off in the week if you work saturdays? I'm self employed so often about. 🙂

Hi Woody - what area where you recommending ?

One day word will get out about how incredible the riding is along the valley from Sowerby Bridge, through Halifax, Brighouse and down to Mirfield and people will flock here in their thousands!

Might try and sneak a quick ride tonight even though I should be packing for camping/submarine'ing this weekend. Trails in and around Elland & Cromwell are running and looking as best as I think they've ever run at the minute.

I walk past one of those places sometimes. I can't recall ever seeing anyone in there. Can't understand why you'd not want to pay £40 a month for 5 years to buy a £400 telly.

Hi Wrighty,

Yep, 9:30 is fine. Have you the road name where the one stop shop is ? I'm not quite sure where that is ?
