Lower Gorple Reservoir Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Open, spectacular, and - if you've the nerve for it, very fast and drifty. It's definitely better as a descent than a climb - more because of what's to come rather than the quality of the trail itself. Be careful not to overcook the corners; it's super-easy to wash your front wheel out, and in Yorkshire the penalties for error are painful and gritty!

Hebden Old Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Grade 2 listed. Dates from about 1510, with various repairs and embellishments over the centuries. Plaques record the repairs of 1602 and 1657. Good place for feeding the ducks.

Shoulder of Mutton Pub
