We were incredibly lucky with the weather as the whole weekend was forecast with rain and wind but we managed to find a gap and it was dry with blue skys.

We met on the Ridge in Marple and set off down to Strines Station. We headed out of the Goyt Valley and up the technical steep hills of Brook Bottom and over past New Mills. We zigzagged down Blake Hill and used the roads to get into Rowarth. Here we took some bridleways that took you riding through a stream which then eventually joined the pennine Bridleway.  We looped around Lantern Pike and back into Rowarth where we stopped at the Little Mill Pub to get some drinks and snacks.

We headed back along the roads and bridleways to Mellor cross for some fantastic descent back to the Goyt Valley with a steep climb back onto the Ridge.   

Most of us went back to my house for tea and cake and Jared kindly cleaned all the bikes.
