Big climb on a normal mtb but well worth it for the ride down off-road into the valley below. Then you just have to decide which of the two routes to take to get to Hucks Brow.

Lots of tracks cross-crossing here. Just try to find the most trodden track- easy enough to find your way from the top.

Avoiding the Bank Holiday crowds . Lovely remote ride , hard tarmac slog up to tge BT Mass then a rewarding grassy trail back down. Watch out for the bogs 🤦‍♀️😂
Small detour off the original route due to the deep atream crossing , no way over unless you want a paddle .
