Reservoir blast

Gravel route from Rushey Ln to Kinchley Ln, Quorn, Leicestershire, England

1 mi   gravel

How to avoid Beacon Hill

Gravel route from Watermead Ln to Brook Rd, Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire, England

"Smooth double track leads to rocky singletrack at South end, becomes a field with a single track cut through. The field at the end gets mega boggy in winter. I did this on 40mm tyres"

Nice gravel track to Outwoods/out of Lough

Gravel route on Nanpantan Rd, Leicestershire, England

"Fine on >36mm tyres, becomes private at end of segment. Uphill section to Outwoods (heading west) is doable but quite technical."

1 mi   gravel

Danebower Hollow

Gravel route on A54, Cheshire East, England

1 mi   gravel

Ascent to quarry

Other route from B6001 to Bramley Ln, Derbyshire, England

2 mi   gravel

Around Hassop Quarry

Gravel route from B6001 to Moor Rd, Derbyshire, England

"Steepish ascent from Calver followed by a traverse across fields. Some of this has been paved over now but still very worth a ride."

1 mi   gravel

Mixed fields + quarry perimeter

Gravel route from Limestone Way to Unnamed Road, Derbyshire, England

"Possible on 32mm tyres in the dry, getting across the grass in anything other than dry isn't fun though. First half is fields, 2nd half is rocky descent to the road."

1 mi   gravel

Blacka Moor

Gravel route from Shorts Ln to Moss Rd, South Yorkshire, England

"Mixed single and double track. Quite techy on the way down to Strawberry Lee Ln, possible on 32mm tyres but advise 36+. "

1 mi   gravel

Sir William Hill top

Gravel route on Sir William Hill Rd, Derbyshire, England

"Golf ball sized gravel across the top of William Hill. "

2 mi   gravel

Shatton Moor

Gravel route from Duper Ln to Shatton Ln, Derbyshire, England

"Fairly chunky doubletrack. Be aware that Google Streetview for this segment is accurate for the size of the gravel, but there are some new little dips and bumps hard to see on streeview. I would advise 36mm tyres at the minimum. With 40mm Schwalbe G-Ones this wasn't too bad. "
