Taking my mate up rivvy tomorrow and want to show him San marino, but I'm just wondering the best way to get to healy nab from the bottom of San marino?
In a van back up sheephouse!!!
More seriously, if you head into belmont, start off up sheephouse then at the end of civilisation before the hill proper cut right by the side of thenplaying fields and then at the end bear left and follow the track up the side of sheephouse (climb over a few styles). Makes the climb up much more enjoyable.
Back onto sheep house at ghe top of the hill and either road it to Healy Nab or get in OS maps to follow the tracks x country and parallel to sheephouse.
Drips uou into lead mines clough where you can climb and cross to the road over near healy nab.
Easier to show on a map but hopefully thats a starter.
Just be aware that its not all bridlepaths so smile nicely. Ebikes have well and truly fokked the paths so can be a bit confrontational with walker these days.
Not sure where you’re going from or time but weather permitting we’ll be in Abbey about 5 ish if you want to see a map!! Bronze volvo - black windows.
We're going early ish unfortunately mate.
Cheers for the replies, I've taken a screenshot, I don't know what sheephouses is! Buy I'll have a Google! I always end up turning left at San marino, down the hill then left again and road all the way back to great Hall narn
Thats sheephouse lane! Left at the bottom, left in Belmont!
We cycled the road for years then discovered the track that runs parallel to the right of the main road. That takes you up towards the track that comes off great hill.
If you head up that track, about 3/4 the way up there a what used to be a sheep track going off to the left but has become wider than the M6! That eventually drops you into Leadmines clough. Straight over the stream and up and it takes you to a country lane that you bear right and just follow it to the back of Healy Nab.
And if you can follow that you’re an explorer made!!
Enjoy.
Best way would probably be across to Great Hill, down the fab descent to White Coppice and then pedal across to the Nab. Not the quickest though.
From Belmont, over the dam onto the Witton Weaver Way, follow the track all the way to the road to Tockholes, take the path up over Great Hill, descend to White Coppice and Healy Nab is a quick 5 mins from there.
Brilliant. Cheers all. I'll try that today!
Secondary question, for next time, if I turned right at the bottom of San marino can I get back towards the tower to do.kennel run and ice cream run?
You're best to just push/pedal back up San Marino TBH.
Whenever I have done San Marino, we have always turned right at the rode, gone up Scout Road, grabbed an ice cream at Scout Farm, then headed for the bridleway at Walker Fold Woods, followed that along till we reached the road up to the masts, went up that a little before doing Kennels and along the unpaved road back to the pigeon tower to do Ice Cream run, then headed back towards HN
I've looked and found all of these. I think I know about road. Is the bridleway to the mast anxious?
Might be slightly alarmed?
If your staying at rivvy the easiest is the climb back up San marino as other wise it's a loop back round.
Might be the easiest way, but the ice creams at Scout Farm are delicious.
down the fab descent to White Coppice
Unless it's wet when it is
a. slippery AF
and b. gets cut up and ruined
