As per the title really. There seems to be plenty of (off road) fun options to get from the top of cragg down the other side of the cragg valley, ie towards Hebden/Stoodley Pike side, but less so towards Sowerby Bridge. Say setting off from Craggies Farm Shop, and popping out in Luddenden/Sowerby Bridge, or maybe even Ripponden then shuttle along the old railway line.
Any suggestions?
From Turvin Road, where cars pull off, an old aqueduct path heads north east towards and up great Manshead Hill. Its very wet in places. From Manshead a nice wee bit of singletrack takes you north east to Flints and an old wartime installation with a couple of bunkers. More singletrack/calderdale way takes you to to Greave Road. From there there are various surfaced/unsurfaced track which can be pieced together to take you down via Millbank to the Ripponden Road. All fairly bitty and unsatisfactory. Over Manshead and down to Greave Rd is quite nice though in an XC way. You can find your way up there from Craggies as well easily enough by bridleways.
Its a bit of deadspot between 2 great areas sadly. Or at least, I've yet to find any real gems.
As above, guess nothing has changed in the 2 years I've been in exile but that huge area between the Ryburn Valley and Cragg Vale just seemed totally devoid of options apart from BW farm tracks linked with bits of singletrack road.

Was my experience also. There's tracks and roads; you can get from one to the other, it's just a dull slog.
Thanks for the replies, not just me then finding it a bit bizarrely unchartered.
Flints Moor is probably my most used, down to kebroyd, but I had hoped there would be a bit more.
