Video: Riding England's Finest Trails, Whatever The Weather

 And what the title suggests

 Hey thanks for the input. You're right. I was in two minds to put that note on the video knowing it would like we'd done exactly that. But it had actually been totally dry and rain-free for a whole 2 weeks until the night before we rode this (We rode on Tues 7 Oct). So in fact while there is a lot of running surface water visible in the video, it actually wasn't that boggy and soft on the peat sections. The descent towards North America, for example, almost left no tyre tracks at all. What I wanted to note in the video and captioning, is not to head on this loop in mid winter, or after days and days of rain, when the peat is soaked through and becomes bottomless (OK axle depth) mud. I've lost riding mates to these murky depths never to see them again. So like others say, when its like that, stick to the rockier /surfaced loops like Jacobs ladder out of Edale. But yep, thanks for picking me up on it.

 Yeah I didn't really think that title through did I ...!

 I was joking nothin better than wet trail shredding!

 make sure you don't take any novices with ya in bad weather, they tend to turn up badly equipped and can turn a good ride into a disaster and will drag you down with em,the exposure can batter a man and the weak shall perish

 If you ever want to know those trails mate give me a shout, or alternatively the guys at cycles in motion in sheffield

 might take you up on that. Got a yeti sb6c on order and its going to need something like the above for an appropriate run out!!

 You are lucky, so why are you still inside...? :-)

 Glandular Fever :-( just got the results back from the doctor!!!

 That rubble climb, who gave the go ahead for that resurfacing?

 @woodyc - The coldwell clough one up Kinder? Yeah I know, it's horrendous! It's also worse for horses and walkers than it was previously. Hopefully it will wear in over the winter.

The responsibility seems to be with Derbyshire County Council

 Get the Dark Peak Mountain Biking guide book from Vertebrae Publishing and the OS Explorer OL1 map. That's all you need. The classic loops around Ladybower are a good intro to the area, and not overly technical. The clockwise version is probably a bit easier

 thanks for the info elbandido, I will sort it out,

 Thats the book. They do one on Dark Peak and one on the White Peak.

 I agree. I'm showing this trail to ride when it has been dry previously (like our day), not after a whole week of rain (not that it ever has a whole week of rain in the Peak). But I'm also showing what ruddy good fun riding a bike can be if you are happy getting a little wet. :-)

 C'mon you miss the accent.

 My stock set up is a Maxxis High Roller 2.35 up front, and a Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.4 out back. You dont even need supertackys if its wet because the rock is so grippy. This loop is good for big volume tyres.. they will roll over the softer surfaces better and with less impact, and absorb the smacking from the gritstone ledges better. Don't go lightweight sidewalls if you want to make the pub before closing (pinchflat potential). Hope that helps.

 but ruddy fun.
