In the image links on photobucket use the bottom IMG code and just copy and paste it straight in,
don't bother with the IMG button on the toolbar...

Looks like a fun descent. Not sure why climbing it.

Closed Bridleway

looks open to me.

Obviously OP is a trail centre [s]rider[/s] pusher then.

edit: Shout too loud and the council will turn into this:

nbt posted some pics a while ago of that trail, the recent storms wrecked it.

Looks like a fun descent. Not sure why climbing it.

I'll try and find the thread with the pics on it, some of those ruts are headset deep!

that damage happened in one storm, overnight. the council took a day to pass a temporary closure order, I did hear they'd started work but that must have just been at the bottom end near aspenshaw hall. it'll be done to the usual low standard and fail again pretty soon I reckon

It really isn't safe to ride down.
As usual the photo doesn't do justice to the gradient.

give that another 20 years of erosion and some time to mature and it'll start to look like a Westcountry bridleway..
