The opening ride of the Wednesday Peak Grimpeurs, taking in the climbs of Holme Moss and Mam Nick, and passing through the quiet but spectacular Strinesdale. The northern Peak District at its best! Cafés at Holmfirth or Langsett, and at Edale Station.
The ride starts from Marple Girl Guides Hut. There is no parking at the Guide Hut. However, there are paid car parks in the town centre and plenty of free on street parking, with convenient parking for the finish around recreation ground.
The finish is at Marple Services and Forces Club .
