Message: i've done it the other way..... roughly here we go:

from bottom of fast track @ wharners (most obvious point i can think of)

turn L, follow firetrak past bottom of diamondbak, take R fork in fire trak, follow until you can drop R over railway (CARE), through cul de sac to road, R, past pheasant pub.... bottom of hill turn L into housing estate, at end follow trails into beely woods.

out of beely, i'm afraid you'll have to consult the A-Z to get rightish through hills borough oneway system onto to the road that meets up with the snake....

dont follow it - on your L is the rivelin woods (oldest place in sheff that metal was worked - riddled with tracks & paths with many small dams)

ride up through this - not legal but used by loads of recreational mtbers and families.....

keep on going up -you'll get lost but as long as you go up you'll be fine.


at the very end you find yourself actually at the road fork where the snake road meets the hillsborough road.

follow it about 3 km....

big dam on the L, (rivelin crag on the R)cross it,

know you are about to enter wyming brook woods

dont

turn L, up s'trak for an age, steepens a lot.... once on crest / crag turn R on awesome, narrow, drops to the R s'trak... at obvious gap in wall on the R cross lawned area to back of 3 merry lads pub. through playground of pub (really!)... onto road, turn R..... next L.....R...... straight on then to redmires and stanage!!!!!


not all legal in wyming brook section though....nite ride perhaps???

far better the other way round... all the off road is DH!!
