Stage two of the Wednesday Peak Grimpeurs, this time over a surprisingly quiet Snake Pass with the heather at its purplest. It gets strenuous over Bamford and Abney Moors. Return to Marple via Monyash (our favourite Peak cafe), Millers Dale and Combs.
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 .

There is also nowhere to leave panniers. If you don’t want to carry unnecessary luggage around the Peak District you can try asking a fellow rider to let you leave stuff in a car.
