M11 4TE


Join me on my 30ish mile ride to The Dunham Barn in Dunham Town.

The route is mostly canal towpath, initially along the Ashton Canal and then the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, with a smidge of road in between. The Ashton Canal gives us a lot of locks to climb up to get to Droylsden Marina where it flattens out again, before a couple of hump bridges brings us to Cavendish Mill where we'll leave this canal and cross the road to get onto the Huddersfield Narrow Canal behind Asda. From here there's a lot of locks to climb up as we head towards the Pennines. Bring your climbing legs!! Saints café will be a welcome break when we reach Uppermill.

Bike Type: All (5% paved and 95% compacted gravel/cobbles) Café stop: Saints café

Helmets are advisable. Please bring a lock, puncture repair kit and clothing appropriate for the weather, and cash/card for the café stop (I cannot guarantee card machines, or that they work if the café has them). Please be ready to set off at 09:30.

We never leave anyone behind
