Ok.

1. Edale- Mam Tor - over and down Cavedale - up Mam Tor old road then down the chute next to Mam Tor to finish.

2. Ladybower-Lockerbrook-Screaming Mile-down to Fairholmes-round reservoir- up slabs then down the Ladybower Inn cheeky to finish.

3. Ladybower-Lockerbrook-Hagg farm descent- cross Snake Pass-up Hope Cross-down Win hill descent to finish.

Anything else or a mix?

Well push, but don't get off and push if you know what I mean.

Beat that mindset.

You must have done all of those a million times! Try something new.

If it's early AM I'd be on the footpaths either side of Hayfield...

Hayfield footpaths? Pray tell.

There's a footpath up <link removed>here</link removed>/ but it's not on a map. superb ridge ride, then drop down either the bridleway or more cheek down to the campsite. Very good when dry, but not something I'd reccommend doing on your own, some decent sized drops off to the right.

Mod: Cheeky trail removed at poster's request

Not sure if I've confused or been clear? I never remember/know any of the place names.

From Ladybower- up Crookhill farm, along ridge, turn right towards Lockerbrook farm then down Gores DH towards fairholmes.

Is that the wrong way?!
