Not far from there - turn right at the end of the road and you get 2nd last pic, turn left and you get last pic (Sheephouse Lane)

I ignored the road closed sign at the weekend...drove up and circa 10ft of ploughed snow in the way. What are the trails like beyond the roads?

Why on earth do you need to park there? Too lazy to ride up from one of the barns?

Nope, it's quieter over that way and there aren't ten thousand sodding gates/stiles to the top, unlike going up from the barns. And when I die coming back down the ICR it's only a short crawl back to the car! 😛

OP stop sticking your snows in. You are giving this thread a frosty atmosphere.
