First I’ll just say that on the OS map the route of the bridleway coming down from Hope Brink is incorrect. The track that everyone uses now stays higher, until the wall that comes down from Wooler Knoll, where it gently slopes, more or less with the contours ’til it meet the Roman Road, bridleway, that head towards Hope. It joins on at the wall coming down from the ridge just to right of where it says “ROAD” on the map, so the junction is about 200m higher up the track at a wooden gate in the wall.
So this is the ‘real-world’ location of the Y junction between the bridleways is the start of the this track, it gentle descends before meeting a footpath at the gate, this is the end of the rough track, and so we consider that the finish. After that its tarmac down to Townhead Bridge, where it joins the B road between Hope and Edale.

Description:
The track is not very steep, but quite fast and rough enough to be a worthy challenge. Its fun, but the small up hill and flat sections reduces the fun if your just after full on downhill.
!!! Be cautious as the track flattens out at the end of the single track road as it exits directly onto a B road but looks like a continuation of the single track road. !!!

Feel free to put any questions, your experiences of the track, or just any thing that’s relevant as a comment down the bottom.
