Height Descent/Distance: 130m, VERY STEEP!!!, straight down the hill / 500m
Ground: Dirt with loose gritstone rocks, concreted sections, which are slippery when wet.

Location: SK 211 837
Forking off left from New Road at 330m Bamford Clough goes SW pretty much straight down the steep contours into Bamford, dropping 130m in height over a 500m distance. Watch out for off-road vehicles and be aware its legally a national speed limit road.
Description:
One of the fastest tracks around, with a good balance of technical riding needed to make it down to the bottom in one piece. Quite a short but very rewarding track that really tests the rider’s nerves. The top section is reasonably sloped with one smooth corner, it then goes straight and very steep, you’ll need your saddle down (yes that means you XC boys and v-brakes aren’t recommended.
!!! Use extreme caution this track is potentially dangerous !!!
