Ride Britain's Best Singletrack around the Long Mynd route: download our free GPS download and head for the hills

This one is BIG Dark Peak route. But there’s a very long section of cycle path that will get the average up. Nevertheless, it needs starting early!

For a taster of the mighty Lake District, without the macho climbs and nerve-shattering descents, try this gem just above Keswick.

This route has a classic Dark Peak feel to it that belies its proximity to the sprawling metropolis of Greater Manchester. Distance: 25km (16 miles).

December’s issue of mbr saw dep ed Denny Milman chasing around the Moors in search of singletrack and inner peace. If you liked reading about it, why not ride it?…
