Wharncliffe - Grin factor 99
I'd not been to Wharncliffe since 1993, since then the locals have been building and building. Yes there is a XC marked loop but I didnt do it. Instead I did some of the short steep techy awesome trails - I did have a look at mini-whistler and watch some of the DH blokes on big bikes do the big gaps and even rode a little of the easier stuff there but mainly it was the old school lines I rode on my 140mm trail bike.
Just didnt have enough time in a day to see it all, or even go over to Grenoside - only 17 miles but 3300ft on the garmin which strava robbed almost 1000ft of of so its a hilly ride. Immense fun with a little group and great terrain.
You can see why Steve Peat has such skill with this as his back yard!

Proper English forest, no conifers
Loads and loads of 1mins awesome DH trails
What could be improved?
Slog/push-up back to the top
