Hey Everyone,

Going to Wharncliffe this Sunday, has anyone got a decent map with all the runs in it? I love going there but i get lost EVERY SINGLE TIME!
I found one with an XC route on but it's not complete.

I normally start off just up from the car park and hug the right hand side of the woods as i descend, i then get lost on the fireroads and struggle to find a lot of the descents 🙁

a map? aint got none of them raaand ere. just go for a potter. any trail you ride will be legendary, so why worry about where you are heading?!
as long as you can ultimately find your car again then you're golden!

Isn't there one on wharncliffe.info? When we went, we did some of the DH tracks and then basically rode wherever there was a likely looking trail - did some excellent swoopy singletrack stuff in the woods between the DH runs and Greno.

If you can find one DH trail you can find them all. They all start and finish at the same two fire roads. If you get lost heading down from the top car park try parking at the old factory - you'll only be a 5 min away from the bottom of the DB run. It also means you haven't got a nasty climb back to the car.

mmmm, the DH map could do with a bit more explanation of how to find them from the carparks / oughtibridge entrance..

That one linked is a bit useless isnt it 😉
