Cleckheaton to Stanley Ferry via Dewsbury & Hepworth Gallery

Route beside canal to Stanley Ferry using cycle paths and Trans Pennine Trail - in dry Summer months this can be ridden with a road bike. Route uses quiet roads through Horbury. Also Thornes Road in Wakefield. Second pick up for off-road section at start point WF1 5AW . (Hepworth Gallery) In dry weather this is suitable for a road bike - any longer spells of rain in the days before may render 1 section muddy. Please note this go over the river using a high bridge on the TPT. being able to pick up or wheel your bike up steps is needed. - I can help but with a group of size this may take time. Break at http://www.pub-explorer.com/thepubs/stanleyferrywakefield.htm - a lock would make sense for the stop here, though if we sort ourselves one can keep an eye out. Toilets off to one side in the pub.
